The FACT-Finder direct integration is deprecated and no longer supported. It is only available up to FactFinder version 6.9 and is neither maintained nor developed further by WEBSALE. New integrations run exclusively via the FactFinder WebComponents. This reference serves the operation of existing shops.
Two things belong below every longer hit list: the page navigation and the choice of how many products should appear on a page. FACT-Finder provides both, and you assemble both in the template from loops and ranges. Guide: FACT-Finder at a glance · Reference: E-Search_ (basics and result list)

Pagination

E-Search_Paging is both the check whether there is more than one page at all and the loop over the page numbers.
The current page does not get a link. A link that leads to the page you are already on is misleading for visitors and an unnecessary self-reference for search engines.
E-Search_PagingCurrent and E-Search_PagingMax are standalone tags and have nothing to do with the loop. E-Search_PagingPosition, on the other hand, only returns a meaningful value within the loop or within one of the four jump ranges.

Jumping to the edges

Four ranges return the links to the first, previous, next and last page. They only apply if the jump is possible at all.
E-Search_PagingLink always refers to the range it is in. Within E-Search_PagingNext it leads to the next page, within E-Search_PagingLast to the last, and within the loop to the page currently being iterated.
The notation in the middle block, where only the opening and closing a elements are enclosed, keeps the page text in one place. This saves you from writing the number twice.
E-Search_PagingFirst and E-Search_PagingPrev apply under the same condition, as do E-Search_PagingNext and E-Search_PagingLast. On page 2 of 10, “First” and “Back” therefore both appear, even though they lead to the same page. Hide one of the two for short lists.

Hits per page

The FACT-Finder Management defines which quantities are available for selection. As a selection list:
As a link list:
E-Search_ResultPerPage_Option is loop and value in one. Within the loop, the single tag outputs the quantity of the current iteration, which can therefore appear both in the value and as the label.
The link variant does not need a form and therefore also works without JavaScript. The selection list with onchange needs a submit button next to it for this case.
E-Search_PagingLink and E-Search_ResultPerPage_Link each have a Params variant that returns only the parameters.
The call to DC-FPFactFinderLink_reset must be inside the loop, not before it. Otherwise each iteration appends its parameters to the address of the previous one.

The tags at a glance

All tags on this page apply in the search template and in the campaign template. E-Search_PagingPosition, E-Search_PagingLink and E-Search_PagingParams only within the E-Search_Paging loop or one of the four jump ranges, and the hits-per-page tags only within the E-Search_ResultPerPage_Option loop.
