I thought it was standard to also include on the search criteria the number
of results you'd like to see per page.  I always do, but I normally default
it to 20 or 30.

I agree I dislike this too.  Unless I'm able to narrow the search more.  For
example on ebay when I'm buying something I like to view the feedback.  They
did add where you can view 200 per page (if you look for it) but I'd like to
see more.  When I see 1 or 2 bad reviews those are the ones I want to see.
