I made this program for searching the database dump ("articles" dumps, normally about 1000 MB).

It can find simple or regex (regular expression) text matches in articles. It can also find articles with more or less than a certain number of characters or links.

It is good for finding common mistakes, such as typos. It takes only a few minutes to process the entire database. The lists it produces are useful with the WP:AWB, a pywikibot or pasted into Wikipedia.

A typical run takes between 1 and 6 minutes using an Athlon XP 2500 CPU.

Download here. (requires MS Windows and the .NET framework 2)

If you use this software, please let me know what you think!
