You can't easily. Skins in CMF are not able to do that.

One way to do it would be to define a new action 'searchabletext' in the
Types Tool, and your new SearchableText would find it using
getActionById and call it (like the 'view' method of PortalContent
does), but that's *slow*

A much cleaner way would be to wait for Zope 3.
