As @WaqasSarwar said below, check the number of search items you have in your Search Service Application — Ransher Singh, May 14, 2015 at 15:12
Go to Central Admin --> Application Management --> Manage Service Applications --> Select your search service application. On this page, in System Status, the number of searchable items will be what you are looking for. — Ransher Singh, May 15, 2015 at 20:48

That is the number of items that Waqar mentioned in the post below, you are safely in a small farm configuration — Ransher Singh, May 16, 2015 at 16:36
