As so with the other commands. The list of packages is so long that gmail freezes when I try to past it in, and paste.debian.net tells me that it is over 90kb and cannot be pasted.

If you modified sources.list to include unstable, that's exactly what "search ~Aunstable" should do (it prints every package in unstable, which is pretty much all of them). I don't know what to expect from the ?narrow() version, but if most versions are the same in testing and unstable, you could get a very long printout with that too.
