Answer 1

You can paginate like this:

Note: user_filter.qs has filtered results and user_filter.queryset has unfiltered results

views.py

      def search(request):
         user_list = Employee.objects.all()
         user_filter = UserFilter(request.GET, queryset=user_list)
         user_list = user_filter.qs


         paginator = Paginator(user_list, 10)
         page = request.GET.get('page', 1)
         try:
            users = paginator.page(page)
         except PageNotAnInteger:
            users = paginator.page(1)
         except EmptyPage:
            users = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages)
         args = {'paginator': paginator,'filter':user_filter, 
           'users':users,}
         return render(request, 'search/user_list.html', args)

And then in the template:

   {% for user in users %}
     
      {{ user.employeeusername }}
      {{ user.employeefirstname }}
      {{ user.employeelastname }}
      {{ user.statusid }}
       

    
  {% empty %}
    
      No data
    
  {% endfor %}

 {% if users.has_other_pages %}
   

    {% if users.has_previous %}
      
«
    {% else %}
     
«
  {% endif %}
    {% for i in users.paginator.page_range %}
      {% if users.number == i %}
        
{{ i }} (current)
     
      {% else %}
        
{{ i }}
      {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
    {% if users.has_next %}
      
»
    {% else %}
      
»
    {% endif %}
