Limit the number of result pages #174
Description
Issue description
The search app displays a pager, allowing the user to navigate the total number of pages the API reports are indexed. So if the API reports there are 49,491 results, the search app will offer the user the ability to go directly to page 2,475 of the results.
Aside from the questionable usefulness of a result that far down the rankings, allowing it requires either altering the Elasticsearch configuration in a manner that makes it more vulnerable to DOS attacks, or else drastically changing the manner in which the API works.
ESTIMATE TBD
What's the expected change?
- (discussion is required)
What's the current functionality?
- The app displays a clickable "last page" link, and if the page number is past the end of what the API is able to return, the user is presented with the message that "An error occured."
