Do you mean thread titles?
This is a default feature, just select "Search Titles only" in the advanced search form.

well i'm going to have the states as a catagory, the cities of the states as a sub catagory and apartment complexes of the city as the forum and in that i'll have zipcodes in the forum description, i want to be able to search the forum descriptions for the zip code, so someone on my homepage can enter in their zip code and go strait to their forum

Hmm, what about having the ZIP-Codes as ForumIDs?
