display post count custom post search results

Hello,
I’m trying to get a post results count to display on a custom post type search results page.

I found this on another article:

table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
                <td align="left">
                    Results for <b><?php echo strip_tags($s); ?></b>
                </td>
                <td align="right">Results <?php
$num_cb = $wp_query->post_count;
$id_cb = $paged;
$r_cb=1;
$startNum_cb = $r_cb;
$endNum_cb = 6;
if($id_cb >=2) {
  $s_cb=$id_cb-1;
  $r_cb=($s_cb * 6) + 1;
  $startNum_cb=$r_cb;
  $endNum_cb=$startNum_cb + ($num_cb -1);
}

if (have_posts()) :
 echo "<b>$startNum_cb-$endNum_cb</b>";
endif;

$totaltime= number_format($load,4);

?> of overall <?php $search_count = 0; $search = new WP_Query("s=$s & showposts=-1"); if($search->have_posts()) : while($search->have_posts()) : $search->the_post(); $search_count++; endwhile; endif; echo "<b>$search_count</b>. (<b>$totaltime</b> seconds)";?></td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

It works to show the number displayed on the page but won’t show the total. I can’t find how to change $wp_query->post_count; to refer to my custom post type.
Thanks
