From the **Button Text** field, you can change the text on the button, while the **Loading Text** field allows you to change the text that appears when more items are being loaded. Additionally, you can also modify the text that appears when all items are loaded by using the **All Posts Loaded Text** field.

Then, from the **More posts on click/scroll** field, you can set how many items will load at once on the button click.

By turning on the **Counter** toggle, you can show a counter for the number of pages and from the **Counter Text** field, you can change the section text.

4. After that go to the **Results Area** tab, and from the **Posts Per Page** section, you can set how many items will load in the initial search result.

Depending on the total number of items and the number set in the **Posts Per Page** field, you’ll see a load more button when you make a search which you can use to load more results.

> *Note: To show a load more button, you must set a lower number in the ****Posts Per Page**** field than the total number of search result items.*
