I had a browse over the source code. Eforum by inspection
does not seem too difficult to analysis. In comparison
Esearch is a lot of code. I can just about get the gist
of the Stemmer and Stopper stuff.

I was looking for the ``Indexer'' component equivalent in eSearch.
This is what you need to have to create word search index for the
forum.

I suppose you would have three indexers to search eForum's DBObjects

1) Threads  ( ForumThread )

2) Message Subjects (ForumMessage)

3) Message Bodies (ForumMessage)

This would translate to a check box on a search forum page.

Each indexer one would ran overnight as a cron job
