TypeError: text.indexOf is not a function

I was playing around with javascript trying to make a word searcher for strings. However, when i run the code i get TypeError: text.indexOf is not a function. I don't think there is a syntax error, or maybe i am completly missing something.

var text = prompt("Paste Text Here").toUpperCase;
var word = prompt("What word would you like to search for?").toUpperCase;
var hits = [];

var n = text.indexOf(word);

hits.push(text[n]);

if (hits.length === 0) {
    console.log("Your word could not be found.");
} else {
    console.log("Your word was found " + hits.length + " times.");
}

var text = prompt("Paste Text Here").toUpperCase;

you should call function

var text = prompt("Paste Text Here").toUpperCase()
