pagination broken on custom theme's search system page I do not have pagination on the system search page .../search*.

When I toggle off my custom theme I have pagination on the search-result.tpl.php page, I can see the $pager variable. But on my custom theme I cannot find that variable, it doesn't show up. I have checked hook_query_alter() throughout all of my site and I do not see any conflict. I checked the template.php file and there is no issue there. I will begin to remove everything, piece by piece to find out if I can find a solution. 

No real code to show, and I would send you a stock search-results.tpl.php page, but the code block doesn't want to show it because &lt;?php ?&gt; is interspersed with html tags. It is something like:

if ($search_results) {  print t('search results');   print $pager; }


I simplified it because of the aformentioned issue, but this is essentially it - it is so minimal it is laughable and it works for any other theme, but mine. So I just copy the search-results.tpl.php file over to bartik, then do drush cc -v all and recheck and I can use xdebugger to see the $pager variable, but the same file with my custom theme I never get the $pager variable.
So i found out that a view on the search page had pagination and it caused a conflict with the search results pagination! I removed pagination in the View's configuration screen. 



Removed the pagination of the pager settings.
