Default search for a particular string in cells

Is there any function which will search for a specific combination of letters
in
a range of data. Say data is in column A(A1 to A1000).

How to find how many cell entries are having "atd" pattern in them. Order is
fixed, but the letters may be at stat, end or mid of the entire string in
the cell

thanks
