Hi,
    I'm planning to use ext4 filesystem in my ubuntu machine.I am doing 
a detailed search on the filesystem.I would like to know where the 
journal is stored in ext4 file system? Is it visible?

You can use debugfs for this - do ``man 8 debugfs'' for more info. The
journal is generally inode 8 (you can do

    dumpe2fs -h /dev/FOO | grep "Journal inode:"

to make sure), so in debugfs you can do

    stat <8>
    ex <8>

to get metadata (size, perms, etc.) and extent information and

    logdump <OPTIONS>

to examine the contents of the journal - see the debugfs man page
for <OPTIONS> info.

HTH,
Nick
