You could try

SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE ...

Also, if you just want to look at the data a page at a time, try setting your pager variable to your favorite pager program.

mysql> pager /usr/bin/less

and unset it with \n

mysql> \n

Subject: extract text from table to file, and recover damage.

Hello

I am still fighting with the crashed hard disk and its db.

I had a look at the tables
mysql -u wikiuser -p maqwiki
and
then
select * from searchindex

(This is the only table which seems to have useful information.)
However the information is written so fast on the screen
that it is impossible to read, I also can scroll since a lot
of
---------------
Lines are produced.

   -  how can I write the result of the above command to
      file? The obvious > does not work.

I think I see stuff like anu8c3a1lisis
which makes me thing the table is corrupted, of course it
could be also the UTF8 representation of the word anĂ¡lisis.

Anyhow I run a



mysqlcheck -u wikiuser -p maqwiki searchindex

And got:
maqwiki.searchindex                                OK


Is this proof enough that the table is ok?
