count Operator Behavior Change (Search)

We're happy to announce a change to the behaviour of the count operator to return Long values. Previously, the count operator returned Int data type which could lead to a negative value if the maximum integer value was exceeded. With this change, we are changing the data type of the count operator result from Int to Long data type.

This change will apply to all new queries. Any existing queries as part of various content types - Log Search, Scheduled Search, Lookup Table, Scheduled Views, and Saved Search will also seamlessly transition to show Long values in case of Int overflow.
