Right now, I don't think this information is maintained anywhere, which is why it's not available in the template variables. It wouldn't be too difficult to get htdig/htmerge/htpurge to maintain the total document count, but the "less restrictions" part would take some more work. Essentially, you'd need to traverse the the whole database to see which documents fit or don't fit the current set of restrictions, so that you can get an updated count. The problem is htsearch searches the word database first, getting a list of all matching documents, and then pares down that list based on the current "restrict" and "exclude" input parameters. So, in this way, it never does know about documents that fit the restrictions but don't contain any matching words - they never come to htsearch's attention during a search. To do it the other way around, so you could get the total you want when restrictions apply, would add extra overhead to the search. -- Gilles R.
