I always forget how to do this, and Aleksandar Nikolić posted a really beautiful answer on Powershell.com

For a file:

1-split (Get-Content .\test.txt | Out-String) | 
2Where-Object { $_ -eq "test" } | Measure-Object |
3Select-Object -exp count

For a string:

1$html.content -split "FeedbackItemSummaryModulePanel" |
2Measure-Object | Select-Object -Exp Count
