Bug Description

Calibre 6.1

_If_ the full-text search doesn't stop at the first match in a book, it would make sense to show the number of results somewhere in the results -- perhaps "Book Title (x matches)" on the left pane.

After running the FTS, I usually pass the results along to Agent Ransack for further digging. However, if they all have just 1 match anyways, I can skip the second step.

This could allow allow for sorting by number of results, either in the FTS window or passing it to a composite column.

Thanks in advance.

It does only record 1 match per book as far as I know, though it might
be possible to get the statistics using the ft5vocab virtual tables, but
this is a fair bit of work for a very minor use case. Patches welcome.
