Count Results of a Lucene Query

[mattobox]

How can I count the results of a Lucene Query from code without returning the entire result set? For example using a template like this:

{ "query": { "bool": { "must" : { "term" : { "Content.ContentItem.ContentType" : "{{ contentType }}" } }, "filter": [ { "term": { "Content.ContentItem.Published" : "true" }}, { "wildcard": { "Content.ContentItem.DisplayText.Normalized" : "{{ terms }}" }} ] } } }

Can I have it just return the total number? I assume I could add some additional parameters.

Thanks in advance!
