Overpass Turbo - hit count?

Question

Regularly I see someone say something like, "There are N cases of foo=bar in the map".

Is there an easy way to get a count of the hits using Overpass Turbo? I can see the data pane, but it would seem I need to do a <ctrl>+<f> search for foo=bar, copying the output syntax exactly, to get a count.

Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious here: I've checked the titles of ~50 questions and also the documentation on the wiki here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_turbo#Saving_and_sharing_queries

Based on the pharmacy example on this page I tried

[out:json][timeout:25];
(
  node["highway"="bus_stop"]({{bbox}});
  way["highway"="bus_stop"]({{bbox}});
  relation["highway"="bus_stop"]({{bbox}});
);
out count;

which for the area selected returned

{
  "version": 0.6,
  "generator": "Overpass API 0.7.55.1009 5e627b63",
  "osm3s": {
    "timestamp_osm_base": "2019-10-24T15:04:02Z",
    "copyright": "The data included in this document is from www.openstreetmap.org. The data is made available under ODbL."
  },
  "elements": [

{
  "type": "count",
  "id": 0,
  "tags": {
    "nodes": "728",
    "ways": "0",
    "relations": "0",
    "total": "728"
  }
}

] }
