Default count frequency of a word in range of cells

Hi.
I want to count the word "overachievement" in a range of cells. Problem
is, this word appears with other words in cells. Like "Overachievement Q1"
or "Overachievement bonus" or "overachievment growth". The word does not
stand alone.

Is there a way to use count or frequency function to do this? Please help.
Urgent!

Thanks!

Try,

=COUNTIF(A1:H35,"*overachievement*")
