I don't want to hijack this thread, but I'm having a similar issue. I'm aware that according to the spec -1 can be returned (for various performance issues) and that's all fine. But I thought you would be able to get the amount of results when the result set count is smaller then the resultFetchSize you can specify for SearchIndex in the repository.xml ?
I've went trough SearchIndex and the QueryResultImpl classes and poked around a bit, but didn't see anything that seems to do this. As previously stated, an order by gives a correct number, but as it is possible that we might have huge datasets at some point, I really don't want to sort them. This is also for doing paging, and we're already doing the "Page 1 of hundreds." thing, but our UI developers are complaining that it should be possible to get a count when they only get a small resultset. Any thoughts ?
