At the top of swish.cgi is a perl hash.  In that you will see:

    page_size => 15,

You can also use a configuration file which is called .swishcgi.conf
by default.  That is also just a perl hash and the default config (in
the swish.cgi) is *merged* with .swishcgi.conf.

So if you create .swishcgi.conf that looks like this:

    return {
        page_size => 20,
    };

That will replace the default setting.

Now, if you are just starting out I would recommend you look at
the other example script called "search.cgi" (same place that
swish.cgi is found).  It doesn't have all the configuration options
that swish.cgi has, but I think that is a feature.

   http://swish-e.org/docs/search.cgi.html

It requires more Perl knowledge, but it should be reasonably easy to
get going if you follow the example in the docs.
