Motivation
One of the best features of Plone is how easy it makes searching of site content. Right now, it appears that Ploneboard contents are not searchable. That makes it difficult for users to find relevant material in forums, and greatly decreases the value of forums as tools for collecting a community's knowledge.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.plone.user/41906 shows that there's already some interest in this functionality amongst the Ploneboard user community.
Proposal
Enable a default install of Ploneboard to make its contents searchable by the standard Plone search functions

Yup, this makes lots of sense.
I must confess that when I was working on Ploneboard over the summer, I did come up against some odd behaviour with the cataloging. I wasn't able to track it down, and ran out of time to do so in the end.
Anyway, the point is, I think the catalog code in PB might need some love in general, as well as to make PB content show up in site searches.
Drop 'internal' PB catalogs?
Why don't we only use the portal catalog? This would simplify things a lot.

Of course. The only reason why it is this way is historical, the CatalogMultiplex stuff (that makes it possible to index in several catalogs) didn't exist when we first wrote Ploneboard for Archetypes 1.0(!).
