Is there a way to find all books w/ multiple copies?

e.g. to search for all entries with non-unique titles?

If you mean find multiple books records (lines in the book llst) with same title, try the Find Duplicates plugin - Index of plugins

As well as exact matches it can also find 'approximate' matches of varying degrees.

Thank you.

I'm not sure what "soundex" is, but it seems to work. (If it's based on sound, how do you know the sound without knowing which language it is in?) The other options have trouble with suffices and title: subtitle.

You might find this Wiki entry of interest: Soundex.
