Applies to: Search Server 2010
Topic Last Modified: 2011-01-17
The Search Paging Web Part appears by default on the Search Results (results.aspx) page. When you query the search index with a keyword or phrase, if more than one page of results is returned, the Search Paging Web Part displays page numbers and forward and back arrows. You can edit the properties of the Search Paging Web Part to change how it looks. This includes how many page links appear and how they are displayed. You can also specify custom labels or images for the Move to previous page and Move to next page links.
By default, the search results page is located at http:// <ServerName>/results.aspx. The Search Core Results Web Part must appear on the results.aspx page for all other Web Parts, such as the Search Paging Web Part, to work.

Configure the common properties of a Web Part
Web Parts share a common set of properties that control their appearance, layout, and advanced characteristics. You change Web Part properties in the tool pane.
Note
The common Web Part properties that you see in the tool pane may differ from what is documented in this section for several reasons:
-
Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Designers group.
-
For a specific Web Part, a Web Part developer may have chosen not to display one or more of these common properties or may have chosen to create and display additional properties that are not listed below in the Appearance, Layout, and Advanced sections of the tool pane.
-
Some permission and property settings may disable or hide Web Part properties.
Appearance
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
Title |
Specifies the title of the Web Part that appears in the Web Part title bar. |
Height |
Specifies the height of the Web Part. |
Width |
Specifies the width of the Web Part. |

Chrome Type |
Specifies whether the title bar and border of the Web Part frame are displayed. |
Layout
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
Hidden |
Specifies whether the Web Part is visible when a user opens the page. If the check box is selected, the Web Part is visible only when you are designing the page and has the suffix (Hidden) appended to the title.You can hide a Web Part if you want to use it to provide data to another Web Part through a Web Part connection but you do not want to display the Web Part. |
Direction |
Specifies the direction of the text in the Web Part content. For example, Arabic is a right-to-left language; English and most other European languages are left-to-right languages. This setting may not be available for all types of Web Parts. |
Zone |
Specifies the zone on the page where the Web Part is located. Note Zones on the page are not listed in the list box when you do not have permission to modify the zone. |
Zone Index |
Specifies the position of the Web Part in a zone when the zone contains more than one Web Part. To specify the order, type a positive integer in the text box. If the Web Parts in the zone are ordered from top to bottom, a value of 1 means that the Web Part appears at the top of the zone. If the Web Parts in the zone are ordered from left to right, a value of 1 means that the Web Part appears on the left of the zone. For example, when you add a Web Part to an empty zone that is ordered from top to bottom, the Zone Index is 0. When you add a second Web Part to the bottom of the zone, its Zone Index is 1. To move the second Web Part to the top of the zone, type 0, and then type 1 for the first Web Part. Note Each Web Part in the zone must have a unique Zone Index value. Therefore, changing the Zone Index value for the current Web Part can also change the Zone Index value for other Web Parts in the zone. |
