According to a thread on the AWB talk page, the way to do it is to use Wiki search (text) with the parameter insource:/en.wikipedia.org/. But when I do this, I get an error saying that text search is disabled! Can I enable it? How do I proceed? Wikia has disabled full-text searching more than likely because it is an expensive operation, especially on wikis with hundreds of thousands of pages.
