Google search is failing me. When loading a saved search and running it (ex: `mysearch.run()` ), is there any way to get a count of results _without_ having to loop over each result and count by hand?

can you loop over results afterwards without having to re-run a `.run()` or `.runPaged(...)` ?

(reading NS Help article on `.runPaged()`, so looks that'll get me a summary, then if I want to get actual results, I can run `.fetch()` on the result. each of which costs 5 governance.

if I'm working with a limited subset of records (&lt;50), and just want to know if more than 1 result is returned vs exactly 1, accounting for governance, would you think it'd be better to just run the search and count loops, or use 10 and `.runPaged()` then `.fetch()` aftewrads?

I would probably just use `run().getRange(0, 1000)` and then check the `length` on the resulting array

performance-wise, probably no difference, goverance-wise. the paged option uses less points if there are no results
