How it works
- Paste your text and keyword — any document plus the word or phrase you’re hunting for. The button enables when both are filled in.
- Tune the search — load a sample, set case sensitivity, toggle whole-word-only matching, and choose how much context each match row shows.
- Find — the tool counts every occurrence, computes density as a percentage of total words, highlights all matches in the text, and lists each match position with surrounding context. Use Previous / Next to jump between matches.
Everything runs in your browser — your text never leaves this page.
Everyday uses
- Writers & editors — find every use of a crutch word (“just”, “very”, “really”) before publishing.
- Students — check how often a key term appears in an essay or thesis draft.
- SEO writers — verify a target keyword appears naturally throughout a post.
- Researchers — scan transcripts and reports for specific terms in seconds.
- Legal & admin work — locate every mention of a name, date or clause in long documents.
Rule of thumb: a keyword density around 1–2% reads naturally; if one phrase shows up far more often, it’s a sign to vary your wording.
