Eg, at the top level, just display 26 "links" for the letters "A" to "Z". Have each one of those take you to a 2nd level page with links for "AA", "AB", "AC", ...., "AZ". Then at the next level, show a list of all the article names starting in "AA", etc.

That would be workable, and you'd be able to find any article by going through only 3 index pages.
Did someone write an app. like that?
