Is there a reason the result count that shows up in precise searches doesn't show in the new smart search? (Screenshot taken from Mark's presentation in the webinar yesterday.)
Smart Bible Search's underlying technology doesn't know how many results there are until the user continues asking for more and it runs out. On a related note, this is also why we currently don't support alternative orderings (such as canonical).
If you need tighter searching (w/ counts and ordering), that's where Precise Search shines.
