   When you run a search on my blog (http://www.itauthor.com/wordpress/) you get just 5 results per page, and there's no way to get any more.

   I've read the Codex and various Forum postings and anything else I could find - all of which suggests that the way to add Older/Newer links at the bottom of the results page is by using previous_posts_link and next_posts_link.

   However, I've added these to my search.php file without any luck. I've tried the following variations:

   <div class="navigation">
    <div class="previous">
     <?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?>
    </div>
    <div class="next">
     <?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?>
    </div>
   </div>
   
   <p><?php next_posts_link('« Previous Entries /') ?> <a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>" title="return home">Home</a> <?php previous_posts_link('/ Next Entries »') ?></p>
   
   <div class="navigation">
    <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous') ?></div>
    <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next &raquo;') ?></div>
   </div>

   The Next/Previous links just don't appear. When I look at the source HTML I just get empty divs.

   Can anyone suggest a solution?

   What's stopping these functions producing any output?

   Actually, there is no such template tag as you posted.

   You should use http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/posts_nav_link
   to display the next/prev navigation on multipost views.

   Thanks moshu. I read that page and tried the following example code:

   <p>above</p>
   <div style="text-align:center;">
   <?php posts_nav_link(' · ', 'previous page', 'next page'); ?>
   </div>
   <p>below</p>

   However, this just give me the following:

   above

   below

   With the source code:

   <p>above</p>
   <div style="text-align:center;">
   </div>
   <p>below</p>

   As before, the links don't show up.
   Anyone have any idea why not? I'd really like to be able to reach more than 5 search results.

   Moshu, that's simply not true. Those template tags do exist (look in the archive.php under the "Kubrick" theme).
