The text might or might not have been replaced with null text, but you should see the missing post, at least the title of the thread and possibly the first line of text, depending on how knowledgeable (or not) the FTer was in deleting the post.
I don't understand the purpose of your suggestion. If I understand the OP correctly, he read and responded to a post that subsequently disappeared. The OP also quoted the post before it vanished, so he still knows exactly what it said. I don't see how doing a search (on google or on FT) will be of any benefit to him as his questions remain unanswered.
