It’s not a really a feature I am asking for - as such - I just wondered whether you had something like this in the background, almost like a debugging feature.

It isn’t something I would want to do every day, its just in this specific case I am trying to establish how many automated topics have been created, and, from those, how many have actually been replied to.

I have the number that are not replied to, 305, but what I don’t know is how many have been created altogether. If for example it was 400, then that would suggest the process of generating automated topics is a bit pointless, as they are not being used. If however it was 1,500, then that would be a little different.

Because the search stops at 500 results I am unable to determine this.

I am wondering whether perhaps I can use the date fields to get a series of mini-counts as it were, and then total them all up afterwards.

As I say, it was really just a one-time thing, not something I would need specific functionality for within the software itself, just wondered whether you had a little work-around for those times when perhaps you yourselves need it, but I guess you’d just query the database directly.
