Oct 31, 2017 at 12:06 comment added Mario Krenn @aardvark2012 thanks for your solution; unfortunatly it also uses Expand, thus its as fast/slow as my original solution. Also it gives a slightly different result, as it also returns expressions like b c d e f^2 which I do not want.
Oct 31, 2017 at 4:05 comment added aardvark2012 As you note, all the time seems to be being spent on Expand (Simplify is even worse). Coefficient[func, c d e f] c d e f returns the same as g and is almost order of magnitude faster when they're both passed already Expanded (or Simplifyed) expressions (and marginally faster when the argument isn't pre-Expanded, but there's not a lot to choose between them).

Oct 31, 2017 at 2:53 comment added Nasser @aardvark2012 No, the order does not matter when doing /. Mathematica will match a b or b a for the pattern a b. Compare a b c/.a b->x and a b c/.b a->x they give same answer which is c x. Your string solution will not work, since only a b will be matched and not b a as in the case of general pattern
Oct 31, 2017 at 2:48 comment added aardvark2012 If you're just interested in the literal occurrence of c d e f as a string in the expanded form of expr, and you're not worried about the order depending on Mathematica's canonical ordering, you could use Pick[#, StringContainsQ["c d e f"] /@ ToString /@ #] &@(List @@ Expand@expr).
Oct 31, 2017 at 2:37 comment added aardvark2012 So in your example expr, a b c d e f counts but a d c d e f doesn't? This will be very dependent on how the terms in the expression are arranged. Would you want it to generalise to, for example, picking out terms involving b d e f?
