How to make forum content searchable

Hi,

Any idea how to make forum content searchable? I mean the forum content is stored in database. But what is the design strategy so that any forum content can be made searchable over the web. I think only static pages and contents can be searched over the web. But when forum content stored in database it will not be searchable.

Thanks!

Are you using some kind of CMS? Usually they have a search feature.
