I'm a little more lazy. In your browser (mine's currently Opera. FireFox will show *much* nicer formatting) start with:

View - Source

Follow with:

Find (or Search, or Look for text... )

"results.cgi"

You should see:

results.cgi?q=564">How long would you wait for food...

A little thought will take you to:

q=0">Do you prefer hard tacos or soft tacos?

Zero based ending with 564 = 565 items.
Full marks.

PS Why do I feel slightly uncomfortable when looking at a page source? It's almost like prying into something private but it's a very useful method when searching for text which may be only in a DropDown TextBox.
