From my research I can set-up a search for a discussion board and effectively search of the discussion topic, but what about the body ?

There are 2 content types make up a discussion board (or community site). They are Discussion and Message.

Discussion is the topic while Message are the replies of topic.

You can amend your search result webpart, change the query as follow:

{searchboxquery} ContentTypeID:0x012002* ContentTypeID:0x0107*

The search result web part come with a query builder to help you find the ContentTypeID. Or you may refer to some source like this one.

0x012002 = Discussion (Folder content type) 0x0107 = Message (List content type)
