This is a technical limitation because there are no identifiers for vector tile features, or it would be too expensive to detect unique features, right? Just curious. Showing a feature count is very useful information, so I would not want to remove that info from our users, but on the other hand, the explanation may be confusing for users not familiarized with webmapping regarding tiles. Maybe we can find a different way to communicate this by simplifying the tooltip message, and maybe pointing users to a more detailed explanation in our docs? (no idea how to do this in a tooltip) We can also go forward with this proposal and wait for more feedback. |

Fixes #121564
Since there is no way to know which features cross tile boundaries, the only thing to do is provide context for the count value and let users know documents my be counted multiple times.
In the image below, there are only 250 documents in the index so the count of 281 contains some documents that are counted multiple times.
