This is just the difference between zamboni and remora serving the page.  Personally, I don't think 5 & 10 are useful to have.  CCing fligtar for feedback.

This is an easy change, but can wait for feedback in 5.11.  Also, maybe chowse has an idea of whether they are useful.

5 might be useful if it was possible to fit every search result and the pager within the viewport. This would make it easy to browse results without scrolling (see Flickr's SERP: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=firefox&s=int). However, this doesn't appear to work, even at 1920x1200, so I don't see much value.

The only other relevant factor might be performance, but does it really take (perceptibly) longer to return and render 5-10 results than it does 20?

5 and 10 can stay out. This bug should stay open until they are also removed from the drop down after searching.

Comment 5

[Dave Dash [:davedash, :dd] (assign all bugs to mbrandt)]

No reason to keep this open - the drop down after searching won't show them if we serve search from Zamboni.
