Hello Periklis, I suspect this is caused by the fact that all DSpace search results sort by "score" by default. The "score" is essentially a way of returning the objects that look to best match the query. In this situation, I suspect that only the closest "matching" communities/collections are appearing on your first page of results, while others appear on later pages.
I don't believe we have a sort option available that says "list all Communities/Collections *first*". But, you could either add in a custom default sort, or change the configuration to return more than 10 results (by default). All the sorting/results options are in the "discovery.xml" configuration file, which is described in this area of the documentation: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Discovery Here's where the 10 results (by default) is configured in discovery.xml: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-5_x/dspace/config/spring/api/discovery.xml#L146 (You could consider increasing this to 20) Here's where you can override the default "sort by" (which is by "score" by default): https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-5_x/dspace/config/spring/api/discovery.xml#L117 Keep in mind that any changes you make will require restarting Tomcat. If you have further questions, please ask them on this list.
