Dear All,
I am working on an application which requires the total wikipedia page counts that contain specific word or a pair of words. I have tried to to use advanced search to get these page counts and retrieve the the HTML page to extract that. Please see the attached snapshot is information pointed by the red arrow the actual total pages containing the name David Beckham ?. Any advice is highly appreciated.
Cheers,

Your attachment didn't come through. But in general, the best way to do this sort of thing is to download a database dump[1] and process it on your own computers if your experiment is going to generate a significant amount of traffic.

That should be the count, yes. I don't have my laptop in front of me but I believe it does. If you want to search for the name I suggest quoting it though. That will reduce false positives.
