Default Searching for text & counting how many times it appears

I import text from various data sources. Is there a function (or if anyone
has a macro) that will allow me to search the worksheet/workbook for a
specific text and print the number of times that text appears? The text may
not necessarily be in the same location at all times. It could also be
combined with other text in a cell e.g. "AJAA" or "AJAA text".

As always, your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
