how can we get total number of items in cloudsearch?

I am working on customer document (data like fname, lname, orderAmount etc.) which is configured on AWS CloudSearch. Now the situation is that I am showing this data on jquery datatable. for pagination I required to have total items available for search. Is there any way I can get count of all available document on cloudsearch ?

I am getting response for matching count, But not the total items available on cloudsearch doamin.

I have search for this under https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudsearch/latest/developerguide/what-is-cloudsearch.html but did not found any useful thing.

Any trick to get total document count on particular cloudsearch domain ?

amazon does not have an easy way to fetch all the records, so we basically pass a condition which would never be true & return all the record.

Key Points

• Get only single item (pageSize = 1)
• Get item without fields
