Can you traverse to an instance of your 'report' type and call
SearchableText on it as anonymous?  E.g.,:

  http://your.site/cmf_site/my_report/SearchableText

I would also look at the catalog entry for your report object (in
the "Catalog" tab of the 'portal_catalog' object's ZMI);  it should
show a big tuple of words, if the field is being indexed.
