countif; search string for particular word

[Mr.Cellophane]

What I have is a column with its cells containing different strings (descriptions). What I need to do is search through these strings for a particular word(s) and have a count with the total number of times that particular word is found.

Example:
[A1:A5]=
Video editing
WebCT quiz popup blocker
Website upload page
WebCT my grades, excel
Website, respondus

and I need a count of the number of times 'Website', or 'respondus', or 'WebCT' is used (3 different counts total). I dont need to worry about finding a substring of longer words because the words I am searching for are rather unique. Any help is appreciated

If the word you're searching for is found at the beginning of the text string...

=COUNTIF(A1:A5,"Website*")

If the word can be found anywhere within the text string...

=COUNTIF(A1:A5,"*Website*")

Hope this helps!
