Ok, I had time to investigate the code and back end settings. I have figured out the issue. You guys added the “auto populate” feature back in version 4.13.1. When there is no caching, as in incognito and you then hit the back button on the browser, it activates this auto populate feature which is set to 10 as default. I have been wondering why it only give 10 results every time I hit the back button on a private browser. Once I update that number, let’s say I make it “12”, boom! I go back to the private browser, hit the back button and then it gives me 12 results. See my attachment. I circled the setting.

Hi Ernest,

I appreciate it. I never noticed it before, until one of my coworkers brought it up. At first, I didn’t believe it was an issue, thought it was merely a caching problem. I couldn’t reproduce it until I tried private mode on MS Edge and then I finally started seeing it in action. I’m now wondering if the plugin WP Rocket has anything to do with it or a server side caching issue. I will continue to try to figure it out as well. Like I said, it is an intermittent issue.

Hello, I tested it on Windows 10, multiple browsers, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and on different computers at multiple locations.

Greetings,

I have tried it on Chrome, Firefox and MS Edge. I also did it in incognito mode and on different devices at different locations with the same results. Sometimes it gives me the same exact results and sometimes it doesn’t. Here is a step by step (using private mode in MS Edge) showing screenshots (attached):

1. search using term “restaurants” I get 7 pages of results (image “capture1.jpg)

2. clicked on one of the results from the first page (image “capture2.jpg)

3. hit back button on browser and as you can see there are now only 2 pages of results instead of 7 (image3.jpg)

Greetings,

It seems to be working fine now on my end too. Thank you for your quick reply.
