How to display the pager on top and bottom of a custom search results page?

Question

I have used the core Search Page functionality in Drupal 8 to built a search engine on my site. The pager is displayed at the bottom by default. How can i display the pager on the top also?

Note: I have not used views to built the search page.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You could use CSS

.[wrapping-div-class] { position: relative; }
.[wrapping-div-class] .pager { position: absolute; top: 0px; }

Answer 2

You can add a custom page template for your search results page and then print the pager above the {{content}}

You can use the template name suggestions as listed here

You can also use a preprocess function to duplicate the pager in the render array
