To count and search for text in Excel, use the COUNTIF function. This function allows you to search for a specific value or pattern in a range of cells and count the number of cells that match the criteria. To highlight the cells that match the search criteria, use the "Conditional Formatting" option in the "Home" tab of the ribbon and choose the formatting options for the highlighted cells. To count the number of highlighted cells, use the COUNTIF formula again with the same search criteria.
This is how you can do it.

00:00If you want the ability to search and count the number of times a value occurs like this, this is how you can do it.
00:06First, select the data set that you want to work on.
00:09Make sure you're on the Home tab here.
00:11Under Styles, click on Conditional Formatting.
00:14In here, select New Rules.
00:17Here you'll be selecting Use a formula to determine which cell to format.
00:21Then in this formula section, enter this formula, count if, C2 to C6, which means C2 to C6 is where you'll be entering the numbers.
00:31And then A2 is the beginning of your data set.
00:34Now, select Format.
00:37In here, click on Fill.
00:39And I'm going to select a yellow color.
00:42And click OK to close.
00:44And OK to close Formatting Rule.
00:47Now, every time you enter a number, say 188, you can see those numbers that appear in this data set will get highlighted.
00:55Now, to count the number of occurrence of this particular number here, simply use this formula.
01:00Count if AA.
01:02AA pertains to the whole column of A.
01:05C2 is what you're looking for on this column.
01:08And hit Enter.
01:09As you can see, 188 appears twice.
01:13I'm going to apply this to C2 all the way to C6.
01:17Because I have done conditional formatting from C2 to C6.
01:20Now, if you were to enter, say, a number, say 22, you can see 22 has appeared twice.
01:26What about 42?
01:27It has appeared once.
01:29And 123, it has appeared none.
01:32And 45, it appeared twice.
01:36What about 32?
01:37Let's say 22.
