Its just very hard to provide an efficient and accurate count for search results. Especially in the context of permissions etc. FYI: related to this there was some discussion about adding explicit queries to get a count to JSR-333 etc: https://java.net/projects/jsr-333/lists/issues/archive/2013-02/message/7 In general: Either the result is small enough that you can do the count in user land or its too large and then it likely makes no sense to provide a count to the user anyway. regards, Lukas
