Answer 1

It looks like this a bug in haystack that has already been reported but has yet to be addressed:

Unfortunately if the "text" index field is Ngram or EdgeNgram SearchQuerySet().count() and SearchQuerySet().all().count() will return 0 unless you specify a filter, e.g. SearchQuerySet().all().exclude(content='thisshouldnotmatchanythingintheindex').count() returns the total number of indexed objects.
