Does that 'someone' has direct access to Solr endpoint? Is that a right thing to do in a first place?
But assuming they do (e.g. intranet), you could build on Jack's suggestion and create a couple of query-handler end-points that are only different in invariant raw count value. So, your default search goes to search10, your 25 results page goes to search25, etc. Regards, Alex.
