A Dec 2005 listing with information on each tool:

http://geekswithblogs.net/flanakin/articles/CompareSubversionWebTools.aspx

Chlora still looks interesting, but seems to be on a slow development 
schedule (next release in 2007).  Not exactly sure what version of SVN 
it supports.

mod_svn_view seems to be abandoned?  Last announce e-mail was back in 
mid-2005.  URL: http://svn.outoforder.cc/

SVN::Web is still active, last updated Aug 2006

ViewVC last updated in Oct 2006 (http://www.viewvc.org/)

There are also 2 other recommendations posted in the last few months at 
that blog:

Bounty Source SVN Browser (no URL given)

Sventon, which is java-based (http://sventon.berlios.de), but I'm not 
sure it fits what we're looking for.

...

 From a cursory look, I didn't see any that specifically indicated the 
ability to search for text.  I suspect you'd have to marry up the 
browser with an indexing service for Apache.

Guess I'll look at some of these later.
