How do I tell WordPress to change the number of posts to display depending on the type of page being shown? For example, all Search results will show 10 posts at a time while Archives will show 20 posts at a time, etc.

what you have to do is to deal with the query_post() function.
See this codex page : http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts
You will then have to modify your archive.php and search.php files (depending on your theme) to call this function right before the loop.
All is described in a pretty simple example here
Hope this will help 😉
