+Known Quirks
+============
+
+The implementation to support :py:obj:`paging <searx.enginelib.Engine.paging>`
+is based on the *nextpage* method of Piped's REST API / the :py:obj:`frontend
+API <frontend_url>`.  This feature is *next page driven* and plays well with the
+:ref:`infinite_scroll <settings ui>` setting in SearXNG but it does not really
+fit into SearXNG's UI to select a page by number.
+
