If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

By default, a SEARCH shows the number of hits. If you want a custom format you can use a SpreadSheetPlugin trick.

%SEARCH{ ..... format="$percntCALC{$SETM(num, +1)}$percnt other format..." }%

Total number of hits: %CALC{$GET(num)}%

Thanks! That did it.

It worked for me too, thanks. I also had to put a

%CALC{$SET(num,0)}%

somewhere before the search in order to correctly handle empty result set.
