Search REST API returns wrong total_count

[mohamed-karam]

Preconditions

1. Magento 2.2.2

Steps to reproduce

1. Make a request to endpoint GET /V1/search and provide searchCriteria[pageSize].
2. Repeat the previous point with searchCiteria[currentPage] = 2

Expected result

1. You will get a response with number of items equals searchCriteria[pageSize] in the first time
2. You will get a response with number of items <= searchCriteria[pageSize] in the second time
3. The total_count is the same on both requests

Actual result

The value of total_count equals searchCriteria[pageSize] not the total count of the search result items.

Hi @mohamed-karam I'm not able to reproduce this issue by following the steps you provided.

@mohamed-karam you need to use together, like this-> &searchCriteria[current_page]=1&searchCriteria[page_size]=2

[mohamed-karam]

I think I need to elaborate more.
This is the request I send
{{url}}/rest/V1/search?searchCriteria[pageSize]=10&searchCriteria[currentPage]=1&searchCriteria[requestName]=quick_search_container&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][field]=search_term&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][conditionType]=like&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][value]={search_query}

If this search query for example has 15 items, the total_count will equal 10 not the real value of the total count of all items which should be 15.

@mohamed-karam in your case currentPage=1 pageSize=10, so if you have a 100 result items it be a ->
1 page have -> 10 item, second page have 10 items so you have 10 pages, total count always 10 items on page.

[mohamed-karam]

That isn't what happens with other endpoints that have searchCriteria. For example if you call this endpoint
{{url}}/rest/V1/products?searchCriteria[pageSize]=10&searchCriteria[currentPage]=1&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][field]=category_id&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][value]=75&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][conditionType]=eq
The total_count value will be the count of all items that matches the searchCriteria not just 10.
