Incorrect paging for Grouped Record Results page

[Kathy Lussier]

When conducting a metarecord search, the paging on the Grouped Record results page is faulty when there are more than 10 records in the grouped set.

- The results count always says Results 1 - 10 of x. However, the Grouped Record page displays all results, which will be more than 10 if there are 10+ records in the grouped set.

- Search results paging is also available even though all results display in that first page. If you click to page to the 2nd page, your results from the first page will be repeated, but renumbered.

I see this on our production 2.9 server as well - example link:

Noting that if the user changes the default search hits per page in their account settings, the system still retrieves the entire grouped record result set, but the paging counter displays to whatever setting is used.

For example, when I updated this setting to 20, the page counter said Results 1 - 20 of about 22 (page 1 of 2), even though all 22 results were displaying.

The options here are to:

1. Make the grouped record results page consistent with other search results pages by displaying a default of 10 records per screen unless the user has changed this default. Paging controls would be available to get to navigate to more results when necessary.

2. Retrieve all of the grouped records on one screen as is the current behavior, but remove the paging controls from the screen.

I have a slight preference for 1.
