Calcuate totalCount without iterating PaginatedList (#820)

This PR #596 seems stale, so I have opened up this one with the requested changes from @sfdye.

This is the code from @Tommos0's [comment][1] with some modification.

There are 2 tests failing. I think this is due to the change in the query string and the cached test data just needs to be refreshed for those tests.
