Luckily there are at least two open source projects available which cand do a fast full text search against the complete history of a repository. Both use lucene for building an fulltext search index which is then kept up to date through a post commit hook or a timer job.

And if you want something that is more program/source code oriented, you might
look at opengrok (http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+opengrok/). It
needs a checked out copy on the server to index and only knows a little bit
about subversion but it has a fast search and understands definitions and
references in many languages.
