tkbibtex has a search and an export function that help even more. However, with large databases, tkbibtex becomes slow :-( My recommandation would be bibtool (on CTAN (and included in many LinuX distributions)). In the excelent documentation you will find a command to extract all citates giving a latex *.aux file, a command to delete doublettes, a command to create unique keys etc...
