About This Free Online Count Occurrences
Our free occurrence counter tells you exactly how many times a specific word, phrase, or character appears in your text. Paste your content, enter the term you want to count, and the tool returns the total instantly, so you do not have to scroll through a long document searching for matches. It is useful for checking keyword frequency in SEO writing, counting how often a name or term shows up in a transcript, verifying repetition in code or data, and analyzing patterns in any block of text. You can choose whether the count is case-sensitive to match exactly what you need. Everything runs locally in your browser as you type, so the result is immediate, there is no signup, and your text is never uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions About Count Occurrences
Does this support regex patterns?
Yes. Toggle regex mode to use regular expressions. For example, \d+ matches all sequences of digits.
Is the search case-sensitive?
By default it is case-sensitive. Toggle the case-insensitive option to ignore case differences.
What is whole-word matching?
Whole-word matching only counts the term when it appears as a complete word, not as part of another word. For example, searching for "cat" with whole-word mode will match "cat" but not "catalog".
Why Choose the Count Occurrences?
