I'm working on implementing this for my site. It looks like the search module is all set up to allow different modules to add their content to the search index database. There is a 'type' parameter that allows different types, out of the box drupal uses only 'node'. It should be possible to patch the aggregator module to index its items setting a different type. The module would also need to extend the search form to allow searching on this new search index type.

It seems likely that someone has done this already. I'm going to keep looking and will code it if I don't find a patch.

I've started a thread in the module developer's discussion.

any progress on this, looking at the head, 5.0, the search still does not support searching the aggregated feeds.

I see there was hook code, but it is several years old - has this changed, or is there a better way in version 6 to implement the ability to search aggregator content?
