Hi, I am trying to do a results pagination in one of our webscripts (with an HTML template). The search definition is the following:

var sort1 =
   {
      column: FIELD_MODIFIED,
      ascending: false
   };
   var paging =
   {
    maxItems: limit,
    skipCount: start + (pagesize * (page-1))
   };
   var def =
   {
    query: "+TYPE:\"" + CUSTOM_TYPE + "\"",
    store: "workspace://SpacesStore",
    sort: [sort1],
    page: paging
   };

It is working correctly, but I would like to know if is there any way to get the total amount of results ( the number it would obtain without applying any limit nor filters). The point would be implementing a pagination system in the html (but I need to know how many elements of type CUSTOM_TYPE are there in the repository without running the query unfiltered again). Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

If you implement the WebScript using Java, you can get all the information you need for the result set:

Hope this helps.
