I always hear people dissing the RoR built in paginator… are their alternatives popular in the community or is everyone rolling their own?

I’m actually dealing with a paginated search right now, and it’s not fun. I haven’t found a plugin for paginated searching. I’ve found that searching in general sucks. In short, I’m rolling my own, but I’d gladly use a pre-built plugin if I knew of one. ---

Hey Jason, Not sure if this will help but I created a plugin for this very purpose: [http://javathehutt.blogspot.com/2006/11/rails-realities-part-20-](http://javathehutt.blogspot.com/2006/11/rails-realities-part-20-) sortable.html Feel free to email me with feedback/questions though it’s pretty simple and only 160 lines of code and comes with some samples. Enjoy. -Michael [http://javathehutt.blogspot.com](http://javathehutt.blogspot.com) ---

Hi, I second the recommendation of paginating\_find - works well, and doesn’t affect your code in places where you don’t need pagination. regards, Elmar
