Body: <p>I have set up a smart group to list current memberships by chapter. When I search contacts by a certain chapter I get 222 contacts. If I search by the smart group defined for that chapter I get 221 contacts. If I search memberships by that chapter I again get 222 contacts. I hit the update counts link in the groups page but the smart group count stays at 221.</p>

  If you are searching by **Memberships** then it is possible that a contact will have more than one membership, eg if one Expired and a new Membership record has been created for them.
  
  If you are comparing that with a search of **Contacts**, then the numbers will differ.
