I will suggest the below query, though I must presume that the starting point (table design) is not really optimal for this query of queries...
select sum(case when dipose like '%sanctions%' then 1 else 0 end) santions_count
, sum(case when dipose like '%notices%' then 1 else 0 end) notices_count
from table1
if having the results in one row isn't sufficient you could unpivot them or do a simple union
(the unpivot is more efficient though)
select 'sanctions' , count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%sanctions%'
union all
select 'notices' , count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%notices%'
(the unpivot is more efficient though)
select 'sanctions' , count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%sanctions%'
union all
select 'notices' , count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%notices%'
an "unpivot" might look something like this with a dummy join
select x.str,count(*) from
(select 'sanctions' as str union all select 'notices' as str) as x, table1
where dispose like '%' + str +'%'
select x.str,count(*) from
(select 'sanctions' as str union all select 'notices' as str) as x, table1
where dispose like '%' + str +'%'
Post# 39940327 would work for you. The other approach is convert the comma separated values to rows and count the values. Let me know if you are interested in that solution.

select count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%sanctions%'
if you want the word "sanctions" to appear in the results, you can hardcode that
select 'sanctions' , count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%sanctions%'
