Is there an easy way to resize a pagination result? Effectively, I  
want to have a dropdown on a results page that allows the user to  
resize the number of results per page. Currently, I have something  
like:

```
  @search_results_pages, @search_results = paginate(:products,
                               :conditions => ["category_id = ?",

```

params[:category\_id]],  
:per\_page =\> 10)

Is there a way I can augment the per\_page on existing results if I say  
wanted to change the 10 per page to 25 per page?

Thanks,

Scott
