How to show number of searches like this?

[CSS59]

I got most of the help here,

But I need help for a module showing:

I want to display the number of searches found in a search link. Can I get it to show like this?

Ohio (134)

the (number in parantesis to be the bumber of fields with Ohio).

I need this for a module in the sidebar

[spirito]

I would also like something similar for one of my modules. At the moment it contains a table which has a column with Regions (which match those in a custom profile field list), another column with the names of the events coordinator for each and region, and a final column containing a link to the relevant events forum.

I would like another column containing a count of the number of users in each region - like CSS59 needs. This could then be made into a link to the members page, listing just the users in that region.

Any pointers on how this could be done?
