And it is a feature that the Kindle (mobile/desktop) apps do not have.

I suppose this is one argument for 32GB Kindle: most people could download their entire Kindle library and then search through all of it.

But probably more usable or practical would be to index all the content in Kindle Store, then have a web search that you could restrict to just the content that is in your library and find it that way (sort of like books.google.com for your Kindle library). And on-device search could add in those results as well (if device is online).
