Once you are already in a search query, you can as well use the global $wp_query.

See example below:

<?php
   global $wp_query;
   $not_singular = $wp_query->found_posts > 1 ? 'results' : 'result'; // if found posts is greater than one echo results(plural) else echo result (singular)
   echo $wp_query->found_posts . " $not_singular found";
?>
