My answer to Google Reader search is:
Use the search we are all familiar with... Gmail.
1. I *STAR* all the posts I find interesting.
2. Then, I make the *STAR* feed public by clicking on the feed icon in the tags section of Google Reader's settings.
3. I then take this feed and put it into one of those SEND RSS BY EMAIL services (I use RSSFWD.com)
4. I send the RSS posts to my Gmail account.
5. All Gmail emails that come in from either rssfwd.com or to username+rssfwd@gmail.com are labeled RSS and archived.
6. Then I can search my Gmail account for the post I am thinking about.

Not the easiest of solutions, but with all that Gmail space, why not?
