If a site doesn't allow its content to be public, it doesn't allow public pages or public groups. I don't think we would need a config setting whether public content can be searched by the public or not because you can always use Google et al. and search for the content and most likely come up with something.

If a school doesn't want it's content be found, it won't allow public pages / groups etc.

As for what should be searchable, I think when anything is marked public, you should be able to search on it because search engines can do so as well. Thus, it should not only be forums, forum posts, but also public pages that the public can search / discover.
