It is not immediately obvious, but Twitter does have a search feature. It is hidden down at the bottom of the page:

You can also go directly to http://search.twitter.com/.

In addition to searching all Twitter messages for keywords, it also tells you what search keywords are currently most popular. For example, at this moment the hottest topic is the O'Reilly Tools of Change (for Publishing) conference, right here in New York City.
