Default Finding the number of times a word is used in a range of cells

I have a column of cells in Excel 2000 with place names in them, such as
Phoenix, Arizona; White Plains, New York; Carson City, Nevada; Dayton, Ohio;
etc. Each cell usually contains two words, city and state, separated by a
comma. Although sometimes it's more than two words if the city and/or state
is two words, such as Carson City or New York.

What function and syntax would I use to find the number of times, say,
Arizona is used in the range of cells?

Thanks.
