Issue Summary
It would be great to have a pager available for search results on this module. Currently the first page is all you get.

The Drupal pager is implemented in this modified version for Druapl 6, if that helps:

Note that any filtering that you do with the Front End (this includes the 'filter' QueryPart option for removing 'similar' results) effectively causes the GSA to lie about the number of results it has found, which consequently makes the pager unreliable, and potentially extremely confusing. (google.com has the same issue; it just tends to mask it better due to the sheer quantity of results that it returns.)
I wanted the pager, so my approach was to filter everything at the Collection level, and leave the Front End filtering alone.

Thanks for mentioning the Collection-level filtering vs. Front-end. Our pager was really messed up and we couldn't figure out why. For example, one search term would have 4 pages of results but all pages would be the same. Or a search would have 2 normal pages of results, and then the 3rd would have one thing on it, and the 4th would be back to full listings. Just totally random, nonsensical results. Once I moved the front-end filtering (remove URLS) to the Collections section and reset the Index it completely changed, looks normal now!
