What you’re describing sounds like a concordance function; there are a few specialised concordance editors out there. I can’t remember what they’re called offhand, but I’ll see if I can dig up some references. Most specialised translation software supports concordance analysis, but tends to be expensive! I know there are specialised text editors that support this kind of analysis, too, but seem to remember they’re also relatively expensive. But then you’re talking about a form of data mining, so it’s not really surprising.
