Cellphones are placed amazingly well to provide this sort of search. Seeing the post about BeOS and its amazing metadata-driven BFS filesystem yesterday really makes you think what might have been had iOS and Android been more ambitious about filesystems instead of just re-applying the same old conventions from our desktop computers. You should be able to just text search every phone call you have made on iOS/Android, today, similar to the automated voicemail transcription features already present etc etc.
