Cuts off after a few results and there aren’t any “next page” buttons. Is this normal? Thanks.

Right at the bottom of the search results is a display like "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10" indicating the number of pages of results, similar to the way a Google search is presented.
Click on a page number for more results.

Thanks but I don’t see that. Maybe because I’m on a phone. Hmm.

I'm on Android with Chrome browser. In mobile portrait mode, there doesn't seem to be a visible next button or page numbers. In mobile landscape mode there is a next button, but not page numbers. If I stay in landscape & force it to desktop version, the next button disappears & there aren't page numbers either. Weird, but I don't tend to search. You might get better results by going to google directly & limiting the search to wrongplanet.net .

This is certainly a good workaround.

To restrict a Google search to WP, use: "search term" site:wrongplanet.net
Replace "search term" with whatever you're searching for, obv.

Thanks that’s a good idea.
