Text cells being in A1:A4, list of names in C1:C3, enter this formula in D1
and copy down to D3!
=SUMPRODUCT(--(NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH(C3,$A$1:$A$4)))),--(NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH("happy",$A$1:$A$4)))))
Adjust ranges to real table. It is case insensitive, if you need a case
sensitive search replace SEARCH by FIND function!

Regards,
Stefi
