Please try bellow code

    $productCollection = $listBlock->getLoadedProductCollection();
    echo $productCollection->getSize();
 }

It won't. The LIKE search requires an exact match, so unless you parse the query string and split it into separate words used to be used as the LIKE search input, it will result in no match.

LIKE search is dumb and does exactly what its input says.

You need a smarter search like LUCENE or SOLR.

It might be because it's an empty collection. Without further testing I wouldn't know for sure. But maybe give this a try

public function prepareProductCollection($collection)
{
    $collection
        ->addAttributeToSelect('entity_id')
        ->addSearchFilter(Mage::helper('catalogsearch')->getQuery()->getQueryText())
        ->setStore(Mage::app()->getStore())
        ->addMinimalPrice()
        ->addFinalPrice()
        ->addTaxPercents()
        ->addStoreFilter()
        ->addUrlRewrite();


    $extra_collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
                            ->addFieldToSelect('entity_id')
                            ->addFieldToFilter('entity_id', array(1,2));

    $collection_ids = array_merge($collection->getAllId(), $extra_collection);

    $collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
                            ->addAttributeToSelect(Mage::getSingleton('catalog/config')->getProductAttributes())
                            ->addFieldToFilter('entity_id', $collection_ids);


    Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addVisibleFilterToCollection($collection);
    Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->addVisibleInSearchFilterToCollection($collection);

    return $this;
}
