Accessing the offset to count search results

Saturday 31 January 2004 1:54:59 pm

My search is working fine, however I now want to add a count beside each found item, ie.

1. Homepage
2. Press Release
3. Press Release #2
etc. etc.

I can make the first page work fine with a simple counter variable, but my problem occurs on page 2 onwards as I can't seem to access the offset, i.e. page 2 should start with number 11 rather than another number 1. $view_parameters.offset - which at first looked promising - appears to be empty.

Any help will be greatly appreciated as always!
