   I found this code that lets you limit the number of post in the categories, I wonder if you can do the same but for the search results.

   for categories:

   function limit_posts_per_page() {
   	if ( is_category() )
   		return 2;
   	else
   		return 5; // default: 5 posts per page
   }
   add_filter('pre_option_posts_per_page', 'limit_posts_per_page');

   for archive page:

   function limit_posts_per_archive_page() {
   	if ( is_category() )
   		set_query_var('posts_per_archive_page', 2); // or use variable key: posts_per_page
   }
   add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'limit_posts_per_archive_page');

   Just change is_category() to is_search(), works for most conditional tags.

   btw, better to use the 2nd method.

   For the categories runs smoothly but when replaced by is_search () the site stops working and the screen is blank .. I did something wrong?

   function limit_posts_per_archive_page() {
   	if ( is_search() )
   		set_query_var('posts_per_archive_page', 10); // or use variable key: posts_per_page
   }
   add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'limit_posts_per_archive_page');

   Did u use same name function? If yes, merge into a single function. Example:

   function limit_posts_per_archive_page() {
   	if ( is_category() )
   		$limit = 2;
   	elseif ( is_search() )
   		$limit = 1;
   	else
   		$limit = get_option('posts_per_page');
   
   	set_query_var('posts_per_archive_page', $limit);
   }
   add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'limit_posts_per_archive_page');

   I am somehow unable to get this work. I tried with Safirul Alredha's code on WP 3.1
