Hi,

How do websites like google page through large numbers of records?

For example; if I do a search on Google, get 187,000 matches, and go to the
22nd page of the results; I'm sure Google doesn't do a new SELECT statement
and traverse through 440 records (22pgs x 20 per page). But I'm also pretty
sure Google doesn't keep a hell of a lot of session data open either.

I know there are all kinds of ways to do this, I've created hacks which did
the job in the past. But there has to be a 'best practice' way of handling
this.

Can anybody point me in the right direction? I'm open to technology
specific ways, but would prefer generic.

Thanks,
John
