“1 of n” result for Emacs search

Question

When I use incremental search in emacs I can\'t know where I am in whole matches. In Chrome browser it says location using \"2 of 30\". How can I do that in Emacs?

Answer 1

Out of the box, you can use M-so while isearching to at least see the total number of matches (even if it unfortunately isn't smart enough to track the match that you're on in the original buffer).
