It seems that this functionnality is not yet present in subversion (I did not
find an other place to ask for that).
This is a good place to ask the question.
You're right, Subversion doesn't have a search feature. There are third-party
products you can use for that. You could even build one. They work by indexing
your commits as they happen, using a post-commit hook. FishEye is a commenrial
product I've heard of that I think does what you want (though I've never used
it), but I'm sure there are others, possibly even open source or at least free
ones.

What I would like is to be able to look in a whole project the commits with a
particular comment (may be with reguar expression). At work we often use
specific comment (such as support issue number) so looking to the modifications
that were done to answer a tocket would save a lot of time.
This specific feature is usually implemented the other way around: in a
post-commit hook, you parse the commit message for the ticket number. If found,
you insert a comment into the ticket (hopefully your issue tracker has an API
to do that) linking back to this revision (in a web-based Subversion revision
viewer, which you'll probably also want a separate piece of software for, such
as WebSVN, Trac, ViewVC, etc.).
trac can do this.
