how to count specific words in a cell range more complicated

Oeldere, I saw your spreadsheet and your function works fine but, I forgot to add some requirments.

What if se is at the beginning of a sentence with multiple words following it. Then your function wouldn't count the sentence string with se being the first word of the sentence.

e.g.

se
that is se
se says this

i think your function would return 2 count, when i would expect a 3 count. sorry for my ambiguity.
