There are some crucial details missing:

- you don't indicate the "position of [your] cursor" in the above
examples

- you don't indicate what you want to do with the count...store
it in a variable for the current line? put the count at the
beginning/end of the line?

- I'm not sure what your search() call is supposed to do in
relation to the remainder of your email
