   At the top of the search page, I would like to display the number of matching results that were found for the particular search.

   Is there a specific command that I can use for this?

   Many thanks for your responses.

   I'm not sure there's a way to get at the full queried object for this (as to count # of post/search hits), but through the use of a custom loop you could collect all posts from the search query, count them up, then display that result:

   <?php
$search_count = 0;

   $search = new WP_Query("s=$s & showposts=-1");
if($search->have_posts()) : while($search->have_posts()) : $search->the_post();
$search_count++;
endwhile; endif;

   echo $search_count;
?>

   Wow! This is excellent. Works like a charm.

   A shorter version is just to skip the loop entirely.

   $mySearch =& new WP_Query("s=$s & showposts=-1");
$NumResults = $mySearch->post_count;

   After using posts_nav_link(), one can display the number of search results by doing this:

   <?php global $max_num_pages, $paged, $posts_per_page; $wp_query;

   if ($max_num_pages > 1)
   {
   echo 'Showing results ';
   echo $posts_per_page * $paged - $posts_per_page + 1;
   echo '-';
   echo $posts_per_page * $paged - ($posts_per_page - $wp_query->post_count);
   echo ' of ';
   echo $max_num_pages * $posts_per_page - ($posts_per_page - $wp_query->post_count);
   }
   ?>
