Show number of replacements performed

After performing a Find&Replace operation with "Replace All", I'd love to see a pop-up box with information on how many replacements were made.

MS Word does this, and it would be very helpful to have this info in Studio too.

Microsoft Word information pop-up showing 'All done. We made 15 replacements.' with an OK button.

I mentioned this idea 4 years ago on another SDL community forum and it was logged as Enhancement report LTE-296. Unfortunately, the enhancement hasn't been implemented, so I'm adding it as an idea here.

    It is not because we did not formally support this proposal here that it is useless or not relevant.
    I wish this option exists almost each time I perform a search and replace, and larger the replacement is, more I wish it. Among other things, it allows to know the number occurrences of any given chain or word.
    And I'm pretty sure implementing a counter would not be a big deal.
