Item14322: 2+ searches on one page lead to wrong total number of results

When having at least two searches on a single page, the total number of results shown before the results is wrong. Before the first search it seems the overall results of all searches are counted. Before the second and following searches, the string "Number of topics: ..." is completely missing. I'm gonna try this out here:

First search

Item201,Item2010,Item2011,Item2012,Item2013,Item2014,Item2015,Item2016,Item2017,Item2018,Item2019

Second search

Item202,Item2020,Item2021,Item2022,Item2023,Item2024,Item2025,Item2026,Item2027,Item2028,Item2029

Third search

Item203,Item2030,Item2031,Item2032,Item2033,Item2034,Item2035,Item2036,Item2037,Item2038,Item2039

This is related to Item10806. The Number of topics: presented on the first result is applied by javascript. It's a simple counter of the number of elements on the page. It's part of the pattern skin.

In pub/System/PatternSkin/pattern_src.js, it counts the number of <span> elements with .foswikiSearchResultCount, and places the results into #foswikiNumberOfResultsContainer. There is nothing that makes either of these elements unique per search, and it operates at the page level. So I'm really not sure how to go about fixing it. I'm leaning toward actually removing that particular counter as this is the 2nd situation where it's incorrect.
