This modification replaces the default search function with one that adds pagination support. Although it does not use ‘Full Text’ search, it loads quickly regardless of the amount of jobs in the database.

I’ve included two search methods, you can choose and test both at the config.php. Both have pagination. They are:

1. Classic JB Search: The default of JB 1.7. I don’t think it’s very user-friendly, as it only seems to work good when searching in the format of “keyword1 keyword2″ or “keyword1, cityname”.

2. Chronos Modified Search: Keywords are seperated by spaces, each of them must be in either the title, cityname or description. There are likely more results than the classic search, but a user can give as many keywords as he likes.

Modification Features:
    * Adds pagination support to the search function
    * Two search methods are included
    * Supports large databases (Full Text may follow if needed)
    * Allows user to go back and forth from search pages (when in deeper pages)
