We recently posted a guide on how to upgrade to Magento 1.4 which solves the most common issues people are having. But there’s another common problem that is not covered in that post: the pagination is not present on the toolbar of the search results page. Here’s how to solve the problem:

1. Open up catalogsearch.xml located under app/design/frontend/default/yourthemename/layout/ and find the code below under <catalogsearch_result_index>:

<reference name="content">
<block type="catalogsearch/result" name="search.result" template="catalogsearch/result.phtml">
<block type="catalog/product_list" name="search_result_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
<action method="setColumnCount"><count>4</count></action>
</block>
<action method="setListOrders"/>
<action method="setListModes"/>
<action method="setListCollection"/>
</block>
</reference>

2. Then just above <action method="setColumnCount"><count>4</count></action> paste this code:

<block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">
<block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager"/>
</block>
<action method="setToolbarBlockName"><name>product_list_toolbar</name></action>

3. Then go down to <catalogsearch_advanced_result> and paste the same code above the column count.

4. Of course don’t forget to refresh Magento cache.
