Number of Search Funds launched by University?

by a searcher from University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School

Is anyone aware of any statistics that show the number of search funds launched by university? It would be interested to see the discrepancy between the top schools and how that has changed over the years.
I'm sure GSB, where search funds originated, is the leader, but other top schools like HBS, Booth, Tuck, and I'm sure others, have created a solid base of search fund alums.
Thanks!
