The Count is performing a function counting these occurances of every record in your solution. When you define a FIND you are limiting the number of records that will show thus the number in the Count field too.
One way to go about this is to write a script for your FIND and connect it to a FIND button on your solution. In the script, you could have a number field and have the script do a setfield(numberCount, Count) at the beginning of the script. The number field is what would show on your layout and omit the Count field from the layout. It will countinue to function, counting without being on the layout.
Since this would not likely update the numberCount field unless you did a FIND, you may have another script that will do this setfield for you upon enter the database or to this layout. A navigation to the layout could refer to the setfield. You can write a setfield script and have any number of scripts call it.
I hope this helps.
