The simple paged results control is a type of control that can be attached to a search operation to indicate that only a subset of the results should be returned. It may be used to iterate through the search results a page at a time. It is similar to the virtual list view control with the exception that it doesn't require the results to be sorted and can only be used to iterate sequentially through the search results.

This control may be useful when the LDAP client has limited resources, on very large resultSetss where the client may not be able to process the entire result set from a given LDAP query, or when the LDAP client is connected over a low-bandwidth connection.

The simple paged results control is defined in RFC 2696. The same control is used in both the search request and search result done messages. It has an OID of 1.2.840.113556.1.4.319, and the value is encoded as follows:

realSearchControlValue ::= SEQUENCE {
        size            INTEGER (0..maxInt),
                                -- requested page size from client
                                -- result set size estimate from server
        cookie          OCTET STRING
}
