That count comes from the server given search in non-e2ee rooms is server-side. I suggest opening up a Synapse issue

https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientr0search

The value of count gives an approximation of the total number of results. Homeservers may give an estimate rather than an exact value for this field.

But I guess it's still related to Element, maybe Element should show an error instead of two contradicting search results? I'll check what the server returns in the network tab...

element-hq / element-meta
