Simkl: instant message archiving now open to public
If the thought of a third party (besides the actual service provider) archiving your instant messages doesn't bother you, you can try out the service for a week for free. The history viewer is web-based, and you can do full-text searches on your IM history.

I was just thinking about this feature a couple of month ago. I have 3 computers that I'm working at and this website saves a grate deal of time for me without frustration. Meebo is not so good for constant chatting, you can close browser by mistake sometimes. I will definitely try Simkl.
