Sorry for the late reply, I just approved your topic.

The files you may want to edit are.

loop-search-forum.php
loop-search-topic.php
loop-search-reply.php
loop-search.php

These templates are in the bbPress plugin, and you can copy them over into your child theme so that customizations won’t be lost after a bbPress plugin update.

I am not sure if expression engine only searches for topics, but I cannot find how to exclude certain posts from the forum search.

You can also use some search enhancing plugins if you want. There are some plugins that search custom post types like Search Everything. I have also seen users hook up Google Custom Search too.
