I’ve become infatuated with the promise offered by Greplin, which offers robust search acrossGmail, Evernote (premium), Dropbox, Google Reader (unlockable) and many other services.
Get it here (my invite link): https://www.greplin.com/r/c/1077498
Using my invite link will let me search Google Reader… I’ve been dying for a decent search engine for it.
Search appears quite serviceable, still investigating the potential to use this with my emacs files. Snippets are small but work for pdfs etc.
It claims it only searches Dropbox filenames and titles but seems to be pulling exceprts from deep within pdfs and text files… which is awesome.
Supported search operators are here and they’ve adding wildcards etc soon: http://help.greplin.com/customer/portal/articles/15527

Nice find, indeed! It works as advertised, and blazingly fast.

And thank you sir, for using my invite link and unlocking Google Reader.
If anyone else wants to post their invite links, we can keep the unlock chain going.

(1) When registering, does one have to use the account associated with their Gmail and/or Reader?
(2) Is it possible to setup Greplin per Google service, i.e. to monitor a Gmail account different from the Reader account?

Answering my own questions, Greplin is versatile enough: accounts can be set separately per service, irrespective of the address used for sign up. Greplin can index quite a few services for free, and Premium is mostly required for the professional ones, e.g. Google Apps.
Hereby my own invite code; as JB mentioned, if anyone uses it to sign up, I’ll be able to use Greplin with Google Reader for free.
