When I run an ICN search, the pagination bar at the bottom of the Content List displays "At least 200 items" and each page shows 200 items. When I move to the next page, the next set of 200 begin to retrieve. Is there a way to configure this so that pages get loaded before I navigate to them? We don't want to have a wait for each page we navigate to.

I'm running icn309.001

Replied on Mark Jordan's behalf:

"Unfortunately the design of the pagination in ICN 3.0.9 does not allow this proactive loading. Performance levels are maintained by enacting the retrieval based on the users' requirement to move to the next set."

If the customer does not want to have the pagination enabled, is there a way to disable that? The wants the returned results to equal to what's set in ICN -> Repository -> Search -> Number of Results.

So there are actually 2 questions from your posting.

The first question related to the capability to disable the pagination bar of the content list.

OOTB, there's no configuration option to disable the pagination bar of the content list. However, you can write a plugin to disable the pagination bar. There are a couple of existing postings related to that question.

The other question related to the page size setting. You can also do this in a couple of ways.

Through a plugin: https://github.com/ibm-ecm/ibm-content-navigator-samples/tree/master/SearchPageSizePlugin

but beware of issues noted in https://supportcontent.ibm.com/support/pages/issues-viewing-documents-worklists-have-many-workpackages?check_logged_in=1

and there's an issue when specify the page size to be 0 using this plugin which addressed in defect
