Hello,
I inserted text into the body of an existing page on my site, and then I try to search for that text sometime later, and said page does not show up in my search list. However, other, pre-existing text does show up in said page when I search for it.
This leads me to wonder:
Does MediaWiki (in my case, 1.4.0) have to build a search index every so often?
No.
And if not...why would my text not show up in the search? (The text in question is "chicago", without the quotes. In my wiki page it is nice and white-space separated. I don't understand...)
If it's doing a LOW_PRIORITY insert, it may not be actually applying until another change comes or some other oddity. Have you tried making other changes?
Do a SHOW PROCESSLIST and look for lingering threads.
Check also if you're having a database problem that might not be showing during the redirect process, etc.
