Notify user when not all text search results are shown

[rfay]

In the text search we currently only show the first 50 results. If there are more than 50 we should do a toast to show how many more there are. Something like "Only 50 of 198 results are shown. Please use a more specific search."

Currently, the REST-API does not provide a total count of search results (see relevant warmshowers.org drupal code). And as a user, I would be pretty annoyed by such a message. If there are more results for my search query, I want to see them.

What about lazy loading/endless scrolling, e.g. using Google Paging library? This could also reduce bandwidth use as it allows to lower the current limit of 100.

Examples are provided here.

I like the idea of adding a endless scrolling feature. And it will work for text search results.
Unfortunately, at the moment it won't work for message threads and messages within a thread (see #272) and user searches by location as those request either lack limit/offset parameters or handle them incorrectly.

Also, it seems that the Google paging library is closed source, isn't it? We are trying to move away from such libraries (see #279). Is there any FLOSS library that does the same?

Sorry for closing this.

Google Paging is released under Apache Version 2, see source code.
