This would really hit the spot with saved (and ad hoc) content searches! Any plans to add that?

I was considering adding a full offline mode but here is my thinking: that is actually a feature/concern that would be separately useful, so it should not be baked into blogtato. And there might be already some pretty good options out there.

For instance, `wget` is a pretty widely used HTTP client that is able to mirror links for offline access. Then you can use standard tools such as `grep` to search in all the offline content. And `blogtato` does already have an export feature, so it is almost trivial to write a script that saves all posts for online content.

So perhaps what should be done here is find a user friendly tool for offline access/search for web content and just add some convenience features to `blogtato` so that they integrate very easily.
