Return the count of strings found and/or replaced

Could really use the ability to get the number of instances when a string is found and/or replaced when using Find/Replace. I know the value shows in the lower left of the status line, but I need the value in the document so that I can copy to clipboard.

Could this be added similar to Insert Stats info, so that the count of found strings shows on a line, maybe at bottom or top of document?

Find/Replace function would return something like this:
2409 matches in current document/selection, 9012 in all documents.

I can then parse that value out as needed for some calculations.
This could be an Option to enable/disable Count of Found matches.

Thanks for listening.
