 * I am using Twenty Twenty-Three and FSE to style the site. I have a Query Loop
   on the search results page and use a Post Template for the results. It’s set 
   to show three columns (there is no setting to control HOW many results per page).
   But i shows 5 results leaving a blank spot for #6. How do I set the number of
   results per page?

 * I did figure out that if i turn OFF “Inherit query from template”, I can specify
   the number but then it doesn’t do pagination anymore. Is there a global setting
   somewhere for search results?

 * Hi [@gmariani405](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmariani405/) – if you’re
   using the inherited query – it will use the same count of results that are used
   for displaying posts generally.
 * That’s something you can edit by going to Settings > Reading in your admin menu.

 * bah, i knew it was something simple. Thanks for reminding me about that connection!
   It’s working as expected now.
