I was looking at search results tonight – and noticed that the “navigation bar” (for lack of an accurate term) jumps around. By “navigation bar” I mean the thing that looks like
“Displaying results 551–575 | First <https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?sort_order=release_date> | Previous <https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?sort_order=release_date&start_index=526> | Next <https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?sort_order=release_date&start_index=576>”
When you move from pate to page it jumps up or down depending upon how much content, especially image content, there is on a page. I think it would be better for this particular part of navigation to be placed somewhere above the books, in the same place, to make it easier for people to move forward and backward through the pages. There are actually two of those "navigation bars" per page.
-- The one at the end of the content (at the bottom of the rightmost column) does indeed 'jump around' from page to page. -- But the one at the start of the content (at the top of the leftmost column) doesn't. (Or at least, it doesn't if you ignore the first page, which has a few 'meta' links above the first nav-bar.) Once you're on the second page of results, you should be able to click "Next" repeatedly without moving the cursor. -Michael
