searchProductsCount

Search the product database, only return number of products matched

Description

Identical to the searchProducts method except only the product counts are returned. Like searchProducts, this method returns ProductSearchResult. The only difference is that ProductSearchResult.Products is left empty. This method provides a quicker way to determine the size of the result set before starting to retrieve the full search results.
