I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to replace the “posts” with “topics”? In other words, I would like the treatment given to “posts” on the home page to be replaced with “topics.” — featuring “topics” instead of “posts.”

2. Is there a way to allow users to search the “forum” and “topics” content?

1. Yes it is possible. Depending upon what you want to display, I would start by looking at the widget code for bbpress to see how they are pulling out the most recent topics and apply that to your theme home page.

2. Not by default but there will be changes on that in the future.
