Please explain what you mean by "a full content search".

if you mean you want a collated set of, reverse chronological listed, change
comments cvs2cl[1] is the tool I use for that.

if you mean how has a line in a file changed over history ... IFAIK you
would have to build your own tool using the output of:
`cvs annotate -r` 
and/or 
`cvs diff <diff options> -rolder_rev -rold_rev`

also note that if you are running CVSNT on windows cvs2cl.py (included with
CVSNT) may have similar capabilities.
