How Many "Many"s Are There in the Bible?

I research 'words in The Bible,' and I frequently use BibleHub which links with Strong's Exhaustive Concordance online.
For a little while, I've been watching Shepherd's Chapel---a "paid advertisement" by a church (in Gravette, Arkansas) that does a "Chapter-by-Chapter, Verse-by-Verse" Bible-Study, often going back to the original Hebrew or -Greek translations of certain words. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shepherd's_Chapel
Then a while ago, I "responded" 'Well, why not a Word-by-Word study of "God's Letter to You, The Bible"?' (carefully-nested quotation-marks there, like parentheses in complex algebra 
)
I've been 'doing that' on my Etymology-blog---where I post "findings" from researching (or 'looking-up') the roots of various words I hear used more-frequently.
In a particular verse, a word there is translated "many." And BibleHub's link goes to Strong's EC's entry for that Greek word (and all the places it's used in The Bible).
But what about the English word there? Is there anyplace where I can find 'a listing of all the words that get translated "many" (or "any other particular English word")?'

I would actually also like to know how many "manys" there are in the bible... I never thought about it before but now I need to know... Too bad you can't do command+F or control +F (find) on a paperback bible...

Actually, you can (in America, anyway) go to BibleHub, surf to their Interlinear tab, and look up the word you're looking-for.
It's a little bit of work (going to each reuse of the word to see if it's translated from the same foreign word), and I don't know if they have a resource that lists 'all the Hebrew translations'; but we can find out.
