Throwing down the gauntlet here in a bit of a stream of conscience... 

If search results are all we are paginating server-side then shouldn't we really be focusing on search relevancy and limiting results down such that we don't really need to paginate at all?  (I'm kinda hoping that the elastic search work will go a long way to solving this dilemma...) I would put money on analytic's showing that most users give up after page two or three of the results at the latest.

I do think some page's need pagination, like the acquisitions pages for example.. but the search results in my mind should be a bit more concise and accurate in the first place ;)

Either way, this is going off topic somwhat

Just my two pennies...

Ok, I see.
For search results indeed we make pagination in perl.
But we should use code existing in opac-search.pl to be able to remove Data::Pagination, or use a debian-packaged module.

I think pagination should not be done into perl. We use JQuery Datatables
for that.

Perhaps, assuming you mean AJAX-loaded pagination, since bibliographic
search results can potentially have hundreds of thousands of results.
However, the OPAC ought to have a non-JavaScript fallback.

Agreed, there is a place for server-calculated pagination.  I also
agree that Data::Pagination needs to be replaced.
