Notifications GET request returns wrong "count"

[fhlavac]

When request sent to
/api/notifications?expand=resources&attributes=details&sort_by=id&sort_order=desc&limit=100
then in a reply (picture below) received count: 11468

I would expect that this value is the total notifications count of the current user but it isn't. In this case, the number of total user's notifications is 200. To get the number of total user's notifications I have to send another request. The current value of "count" is quite useless, maybe it is a bug. Would it be possible to replace it with the total number of current user's notifications?

Investigation notes:

In app/controllers/api/base_controller/renderer.rb collection_search applies custom "search_condition" via a call to notifications_search_conditions.

However in app/controllers/api/base_controller.rb in index a call to Api::QueryCounts.new is done with NotificationRecipient.count. That ignores any custom search condition.

So this is probably going to be broken everywhere where *_search_condition is used:

app/controllers/api/automation_requests_controller.rb
app/controllers/api/groups_controller.rb
app/controllers/api/notifications_controller.rb
app/controllers/api/provision_requests_controller.rb
app/controllers/api/reports_controller.rb
app/controllers/api/requests_controller.rb
app/controllers/api/results_controller.rb
app/controllers/api/service_orders_controller.rb
app/controllers/api/service_requests_controller.rb
app/controllers/api/tenant_groups_controller.rb

Really, I see the same issue with groups.
