Find & replace on string within a SP 2007 site collection?

Asked by iamgam in MS SharePoint, MS SQL Server

Tags: Sharepoint 2007, MOSS, Content

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to replace every occurrence of a string within the content of a site (probably not within documents 'tho) with another? I'm thinking of things like (list) titles and descriptions. I can see how this is possible by using cursor(s) within the content database, but is there a more graceful way? There seems to be nothing available at the gui level, which, for what is at least partially a CMS, is pretty poor.

If this isn't really possible, can anyone advise what we should tell our users who want to do this sort of thing on their (quite large) sites?

MOSS 2007 SP2 & 2009/09 update; SQL2000 SP4
