I am using Search Templates for performing queries.

How can I get the count with search template?

Example:

PUT blogs/post/1  
{  
"title": "title1",  
"desc": "desc1"  
}

PUT /blogs/post/2  
{  
"title": "title2",  
"desc": "desc2"  
}

PUT /\_search/template/search\_posts  
{  
"template": {  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
}  
}  
}

GET /blogs/post/\_search/template  
{  
"template": {  
"id": "search\_posts"  
},  
"params": {}  
}

GET blogs/post/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
}  
}

GET blogs/post/\_count  
{  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
}  
}
