Hi.

Let's say I have an IRC server and I want the text contents of the
messages to be available to the public web and searchable. What are
the tools that could help me do that? Are there any?

Not sure how to do it other than creating and hosting a webpage and
making your server logs available

Make a bot that records the channel traffic to a log or database, then
setup a website to share the logs. Several projects exist to
accomplish this in various libera channels.. see

logs

You could sign up and enable logging on your channel with
https://ircdriven.com or if you own the IRC Network, to sign up your
Network first then, apply logging. 😎
