	What you could do is cache the search results (just caching the id's of  
the rows to display is enough and uses little space) in a cache table,  
numbering them with your sort order using a temporary sequence, so that  
you can :
	SELECT ... FROM cache WHERE row_position BETWEEN page_no*per_page AND  
(page_no+1)*per_page-1
	to get the count :
	SELECT row_position FROM CACHE ORDER BY row_position DESC LIMIT 1
	Add a session_id referencing your sessions table with an ON DELETE  
CASCADE and the cache will be auto-purged when sessions expire.
