Default Count the number of appearance within a cell
See inline comments...

A1 = St. Louis

=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,{"S","s"},""))

Fails

I'm not sure why you posted the above comment... no one posted that formula.

=SUM(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,{"S","s"},"")))

The above formula which you posted is the formula that Teethless mama posted
in the message you responded to.
