Increase number of returned nodes?

WARNING: always back up your files before hacking them!

The # of search results is not an end-user changeable feature. It is hard-coded.

That being said, I believe that you can change the number from 10 results by changing the number "10" to "25" (or whatever) in two places: ~line 867 (do_search() function) and ~line 1262 (theme_search_page() function) in search.module.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

I wrote a little patch that adds a setting you can adjust in administer/search.
Perhaps it should be added to cvs some day...
I assume you know how to patch files.. if not.. just add/replace the relevant lines.
