On the right top of your wikidot page you will find the search box where you can enter any text to search in the site (forum and/or pages). If the site uses a custom "theme" different to the used one in the community then you will find this "search box" perhaps on another location.
You will get a list of all pages (and/or forum threads) with such text in its content.
Or if not possible You can create ( or edit) any page to include following module-line(s):
You will get some lists like this one (real time , means the list is from now, this moment !):
