Can one prune their forum based on what's inside the post

[CrazyLady]

I would like to prune my forums based on finding a matching word, phrase, or url, and remove all threads that contain them. Can this be done?

Short answer: no

Of course it can be done.. anything's possible with php and mysql. I just have no idea how to do it.

I figured, nothing is impossible. I mean you can search for stuff in a thread, why not search and prune. I am in desperate need of this asap. If anyone can help, I would be forever grateful. any more thoughts?
