You can do this almost instantaneously in Accordance for Mac, presumably
also in Gramcord for Windows and in Logos and Bible Works also. In
Accordance, for instance, you can immediately find all instances of ERCOMAI
in Luke and, depending onhow you set up your results" formatting, have an
analysis by tense, voice, mood, person & number, etc.

Carl says this can be done in Accordance, and I am sure he knows whereof he 
speaks.  It can also be done in Logos / Libronix.  I cannot speak regarding BW. 
 I know of at least one person on this list who, at least sometimes, uses BW. 
 Perhaps he would be willing to speak regarding this.

As a novice BW 5.0 user, I can report that the search in BW is simple and quick, but the formatting and sorting of the results, though options exist, appear to be somewhat limited.  

Search results can be copied to another application and manipulated for desired sorting.
