I let slip at work that I know something about MediaWiki and now have been asked about a text search function that doesn't suck for another department's MediaWiki installation.
It looks like an install of 1.5b3 that someone installed and forgot about. I presume it's only got the default search that comes in the tarball - is that MySQL full-text search or Lucene? If the former, does anyone have a list of better text searches and how to install them? Proprietary or semi-proprietary is not an issue as long as it's free-beer.
(They don't have a sysadmin either [!], so this one might end up being mine too ...)
