Provide count when filtering

[garretthyder]

A request was originally made on GlotDict to provide a count of the strings returned when filtering;
Mte90/GlotDict#179 (comment)

I looked into this for GlotDict but when the results are paginated the information isn't available to javascript without unnecessary requests.

It would be nice to have a notice appear when the filter is run with the results count similar to the notices you receive when importing or bulk submitting;

How about we add a "Current Filter" count to the end of the standard count list when a filter is active. Something like:

Thanks @toolstack

That could suffice, although we might want to make it not look like a link or users could be confused and try clicking at it.

I posted a quick thought in Slack - https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP4R9F/p1537459419000100

I was either thinking that could be a notice with the filter count. Or if the pagination is just updated to give numbers like 1-100 of 1000 that would probably also suffice and could be useful to all views not just filter views

Thanks

It will be a link, and you can click on it ;)

That way you can refresh the current filtered view.

The problem with ranges is that it makes the pagination control much larger, which isn't good on small displays.

That's a good point @toolstack I hadn't thought of a need to refresh but as you can affect strings in view to have them removed from the filter a refresh is a useful thing.
And I agree the count in pagination could be overbearing there.
Let's go with your initial proposal there, thanks for providing a use case for why making it a link is helpful
