Hello,

Is it possible to display the number of results for the search query?

I have the same question.

If I enter an SSID name, I can't tell if it's even in the database, if it displayed number of results at least I'd know and can then play with the location filter to narrow it down.

Ideally, a list of results would be nice (clickable, zooms in on the map when you click a specific result)

For the first question, displaying a total count is computationally expensive, since we'd have to grab them all to count them up.

For the second question, that's exactly what the ssid search does on the search page, it shows you a list of results and a link to the map with them. You can tell it's in the database because you get results back.
