I found the wordcount thing.
I mean specific instances of words. The number of times eg that "the"
occurs in a text. But I need to search on specific combinations, like
"the exact word", but also a fuzzy search on specific combinations.
Not HTML tags, but specific strings that this package that I use calls
TAGS and who are easily identifiable with a string or string combination.

Wilfred,
you can use replace-regexp to do this
Try
M-x replace-regexp
\bthe exact phrase\b
\&
\b means word-boundary,
\& means replace with what was found.
This is a bit nasty, but after the regexp-replace has
finished, it should echo "Replaced xx occurrences"
to the minibuffer.
HTH,
