Hello Richard,

I'm sorry, I don't know how old is that FAQ article but here is the working example (and I believe you can find more just by searching the forums as first)...

For showing the total number of the search results, please open ~\CMSModules\SmartSearch\Controls\SearchResults.ascx.cs and there find this code:

// Search
                DataSet results = SearchHelper.Search(parameters);
 
                int numberOfResults = parameters.NumberOfResults;
 
                if ((MaxResults > 0) && (numberOfResults > MaxResults))
                {
                    numberOfResults = MaxResults;
                }

Below these lines of code please put:

// Show now results found ?
                if (numberOfResults == 0)
                {
                    lblNoResults.Text = NoResultsText;
                    lblNoResults.Visible = true;
                }
                // this is custom clause
                else
                {
                    lblNoResults.Text = numberOfResults.ToString();
                    lblNoResults.Visible = true;
                }
 
                RequestStockHelper.Add("totalNumber", lblNoResults.Text);

And now go to CMS Desk and to the properties of your search web part and open the transformation, in that transformation put:

<%# IfCompare(DataItemIndex,0, "", RequestStockHelper.GetItem("totalNumber")) %>

After you do this, you should see the total number of results..

Best Regards,
Martin Danko
