Counting text occurrences: more useful than it sounds
Knowing how many times a word, phrase, or pattern appears in a body of text has many practical applications — from content quality checks to data analysis and debugging.
Use cases
- SEO writing — check keyword density without over-optimizing ("is my focus keyword used 3–5 times?")
- Academic editing — find overused words like "however", "therefore", or a specific proper noun
- Code review — count how many times a function or variable name appears across pasted code
- Data validation — verify that a CSV column contains a certain value the expected number of times
- Legal documents — confirm a defined term is used consistently throughout a contract
Regex mode for advanced searches
Enabling regex mode unlocks powerful pattern matching. Count all sentences that start with "The" (^The\s), all email addresses ([a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}), or all numbers in a document (\d+). Context snippets help you verify each match is what you intended.
