Pagination was the single most annoying thing that happened to the web during the 90’s, that is, until people started doing the horrible AJAX ad-hoc page loading.
The whole idea of arbitrarily feeding a user small chunks of data somehow doesn’t smell right.
The user should be the one to decide if they want to see those 200k hits on one page.
I don’t want to get back to my browser just to see it hasn’t loaded everything, and that I still have to wait if I click somewhere.
A single hit might not be enough, maybe the user needs all those hits for their search?
Remember, searching is just a hack to work with unstructured information, designed to prolong our inevitable fall into the chaos which is the web.
