As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Don't think so.
Save/restore information for QSYS.LIB objects is stored in the
object's OIR which is part of the *LIB object.
Stream files don't have an OIR (or not one I can find) therefore no
save/restore information.
A DMPOBJ of a *PGM shows a .SAVE/RESTORE. section.
A DMP of a stream file does not therefore I presume this information
is not tracked.
When a stream file object is changed the Change date is updated and
the Archive flag is turned on. When a stream file object is saved the
archive flag is turned off (if UPDHST(*YES | *SYS) is specified).
The SAV command does allow a 'sort-of' SAVCHGOBJ function via the
CHGPERIOD keyword. This supports a special start point of *LASTSAVE.
As far as I can tell this just means all stream file objects that
have their archive flag set on.
I note that the attribute flags don't appear to be in the dump either
so it's possible that the system does track the save date information
but simply doesn't expose it. However, the observed behaviour is
consistent with the Archive flag being set or unset.
