Default Counting number of times a specific word appears in a single cell

Hi,
I am using a function (=COUNTIF(data,"*"&nn&"*") that searches a range of
cells and tells me how many times "nn" appears. It's fine. However, if "nn"
appears twice in a single cell it is only counted once - not twice. How do I
have "nn" (or anything else) counted for the number of times it appears in a
range including it appearing twice (or more times) in a single cell?
