Do you have any recommendation or usability research around making the pagination left-, center-, or right-justified? Google, Yahoo, and Hulu all do it differently. Is one more usable than the other?

What often annoys me in this context, is the limit how many products (or search engine results) will be displayed on one page.

I clearly prefer one long page I can scroll through instead of using pagination. With on page I am able to search through the whole page for words I am lokking for, for example (text search). Furthermore I can visually scroll thorugh product lists and get an idea if there is something for me quickly.

Best wishes,
claude

I agree to the reformulate #6. And that is also right users always focus on first results. But I doubt that the theory that people narrow their search until what they look for are in the top results. Actually the hypothesis are based on the premise that all user are search engine savvy and the serps always are the best possible results. I am afraid both are not sufficient enough. It is not so user-friendly way if treating users as robots. Googlebot can not replace human being when it comes to intuiton. Sometimes I search for somthing and use all keywords I could think of, but the top serps just did not show what I need. So I have to browse them page by page. I know this is crazy but I have no idea what else I can do at all.

I think there should be a limit to this endless scroll idea. I love long pages, not having to click to the next page, but there should be a cap. It’s freaking annoying to use a little scrollbar, being so sensitive. Therefore, I support Google’s preference option to list 100 search results. It’s much easier for me to find what I want if I have more options up front. Clicking to different pages of listings just discourages me.

The sad thing is how this very good practices (for the web) have been migrated in to enterprise systems, for example, think of an inventory system for a state government, let say they have around 500,000 different things in inventory, and you search for anything that begins with “a”, the result is going to be around 50,000… what is the advantage of pagination here? do we seriously thing that the user is going to spend 3 days reading page by page until he founds what he is looking for?

I think pagination is one of those overused stuff that migrated from system that work with un-structured data (like Google) an in to systems that work with structured data (based on RDBMS) and that really do not make sense in the structured world, if you are getting more search result than you can read in under 1 o 2 minutes that that pretty much means that your search is not specific enough. Why bother implementing pagination then?. It seems to be a psychological thing we, as developers “like” the idea of offering “freedom” to the user, and the user likes that “freedom”, if you remove the paginator they will complain because they do not see it, even if they always find the search results after the first page useless.

That graph is very accurate compared to the way that I search for things also, if I cant find what I am searching for within the first ten results I will change up my wording for a new search. Images is a whole different thing though I will browse through search results forever until I find what I am looking for.
