U2 has several facilities for counting or examining words in context.
If you simply want to know how often a word is used, command "countwd
[or cwd for short] [word_to_count]". To see the contexts in
which words are used, plus a bunch of other facilities, command "cite
[word_or_$tring_to_lookup]" -- for usage, command "help
cite". To get a sense of the redundancy of a particular word
or $tring, define the word|$tring in text, then command
"redund". It will tell you whether you've used the word
recently or not, and if so, exactly how far back and forward in text
the same word|$tring occurs (and let you JuMP there directly, if you
want).

CITE sounds like it's the closest thing to what you want (it supplies
what I would certainly describe as a "concordance", and you can adjust
the amount of context you want to see, by issuing a runtime
"/150,word_to_cite" arg to see e.g. 150 chars of context, 75 fore and
75 aft. Default=67 chars of context).
