Hi Marina,

I think you can get to these numbers in (only?) two ways:
1) at query time, for each suggestion hit the index, get the number of
hits, and show it in the UI
2) at "suggestion data structure creation time" query the index for
each suggestion, get the number of hits, include it in the lookup data
structure, and retrieve it from there for the UI.

1) will give you accurate counts, but it can result in a loooot of
hits to the main index - i.e., performance will suffer.
2) will not give you accurate counts IFF your index is regularly being
updated. If the index is static for a good period of time then counts
will be correct.  This would also have to hit the index to get the
counts, but only while the suggestion lookup structure is being built,
not at search time - i.e., you control when you hit the index and not
all users suffer.

http://sematext.com/products/autocomplete can be made to do 2).
To do 1) you'd implement that in your search app.
