Worth knowing

  • Occurrence Counter on Toolspire: red red RED contains case-sensitive red twice.
  • Ignoring case, the same text contains it three times.
  • reddish does not count. The match is a whole word.
  • The word-frequency page lists every word. This page answers one word.

Case is the difference between 2 and 3

In “red red RED”, a case-sensitive search for red finds two matches. Folding the case finds three. Both numbers are useful, and hiding one of them is how a count becomes an argument. The match is the whole word, so reddish is not red. The frequency page is the census of every word. This page is a single question.
