Fine Woodworking Back Issues
This is not a search engine but instead a page that lists the contents of back issues dating back to the mid-90's. Of course, you can search the page using the Find feature in your web browser.

Wood Magazine
Nice search tool with options to search by category and keyword. The one thing missing is that the results don't link directly to the back issues.

Popular Woodworking’s Online Magazine Index
Search a description of every article published since 1997. You can search this data base by keyword, by issue date or by author. Search results include an abstract of the specific article matching your search as well as abstracts of other articles in the same issue.

Woodsmith
A basic search box to locate back issues. The results are nicely laid out: a blow-up of the feature project followed by thumbnails and brief descriptions of the other projects in the issue.

Woodworker's Journal
Their search tool enables searching for back issues and plans (Use the "Search Plans" link). Results include a photo and descriptive paragraph.
