Thank you very much for your replies!
Actually, I need to know where the 280th -ish word is, so I thought to select some text approximately, and have a word count (\w+ ) but you open up possibilities.

When I select text in preview and search > mark selected text it only unmarks, as stated in the info bar: "Text selection unmarked". I'm using Ubuntu 22.04
When I select text in source xhtml, CTRL+SHIFT+M does mark text but searching for "\w+ " results in all tags content to be counted as words, like "a " in `<a href...` or elsewhere in tags (style, etc).
I need to count rendered words, not everything from code.
Actually I need to spot every 280th rendered word. Sorry for not being clearer in my first draft.
Any idea welcome!
