Solution 2

Once you are already in a search query, you can as well use the global $wp_query.

See example below:

<?php
   global $wp_query;
   $not_singular = $wp_query->found_posts > 1 ? 'results' : 'result'; // if found posts is greater than one echo results(plural) else echo result (singular)
   echo $wp_query->found_posts . " $not_singular found";
?>

how to get the count of pages and posts individually

[Sunil Dora]

please check this for the all post counts and for pages pass the value in WP_Query 'post_type' => 'page' wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/31254/…

this solution is much better, because you have all ready the global $wp_query, no need to get it again like in the accepted answer

Also for me this solution is the correct one, it's not necessary to make a new query it just wastes time and resources. Please @Adarsh mark this as accepted!
