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.
