Some visitors prefer to jump between discrete pages of results rather than scroll or click-to-append – pagination keeps result sets predictable and easy to reference.
With AJAX Search on, setting Loading Options to Pagination adds Next/Previous navigation that fetches each page over AJAX, without a full page reload.
For the full settings tour of the Search Bar widget, see Search Bar Widget Settings Overview.
