Very likely this is what they did.

And your crystall ball? ;-) Well, as to the problem with the search I've
discovered the key for the searchindex table is generated with U8<hex>
while the table has u8<hex>. So, if I replace in SeachMySQL.php

$searchon = $this->db->strencode( $searchon );

by

$searchon = $this->db->strencode( $wgContLang->lc ($searchon) );

words are found. I'm using this as a workaround, but I'm investigating
the origin of the problem (any hints?).

Thank you. Please, could you give a pointer explaining it?

Cheers
