Hi all. I have a site and a client that want to increase the number of items that search function returns: from 10 to 20.
How can I do it ?
It looks as it is hardcoded in do_search()
$result = pager_query("$select $sort_parameters", 10, 0, $count_select, $arguments);
You could write a hook_search cloning node_search and tweak where needed.
You're going to spend more time patching your cloned version of node_search every time there is a new node.module rather than hacking core... unless you plan to actually maintain your own search routines and not just copy and paste node_search.
Maybe there is somewhere an issue about configuring # of returned results... patch core adding an interface to that setting and maybe you'll see it accepted... I'd be curious how long does it take to get an idea about how much it's worth to pursue this path in certain circumstances...
