hey,

You guys built an awesome product. Thanks for all of the work.

After upgrading to 3.3.4, we noticed that the total message count is no longer visible after doing a search. In the older UI, it was visible and it was really useful to some of our users. Would it be possible to display that count again?

Thanks!  
Jon

Not by default, but you can still add widget with message count. Click on left vertical menu, click on `Plus` icon, and select `Message Count` below section `Predefined Aggregation`.

You can also save this search for future use using `Save` and `Load` function on the top right of the screen.

I hope the Message Count would be shown as default in one of the feature releases again. Even if you can save searches, it’s very annoying to add the Message Count every time in an ad-hoc search.
