Pagination
A query may fetch a number of results for a search. Returning all results at a time and displaying all of them on a single page is not an ideal approach for any search application. Rather, returning the top N number of matching results (sorted based on some fields) first is the ideal way for an application. Solr supports a pagination feature whereby we can return a certain number of results rather than all results and display them on the first page. If we can't find the results we are looking for on the first page, we can call the next page of results by running the subsequent request with pagination parameters. Pagination is very helpful in terms of performance because instead of returning all matching results at a time, it will return only a specific number of results; so the result is very quick. Using pagination, we also can determine how many queries are required to fulfill the expectations behind the search; so we can manage relevance accordingly.
