Description

When grouping currently you can get two counts:

• Total hit count. Which counts all documents that matched the query.
• Total grouped hit count. Which counts all documents that have been grouped in the top N groups.

Since the end user gets groups in his search result instead of plain documents with grouping. The total number of groups as total count makes more sense in many situations.
