Description of the need
All other pagers on my site (mostly generated using Views) have the "mini" pager. It's frustrating to have this one page use only the "full" style pager, and it generates a LOT of buttons which looks pretty silly.
Proposed solution
Ideally, the search module config would have an option to do a "mini" pager like Views module does.
Alternatives that have been considered
I have used Views with exposed filters for search in the past (like many years ago before Drupal's search was polished) but I would prefer to use the search module because it works a lot faster.
