Anything in the error logs when you get the blank page? And by blank to you mean white screen of death or blank wiki skin with no content?

Hi,
Mod_security is not enabled in my server -i.e I checked the httpd.conf
file and the apache modules folder. Reference to the particulat module

When I search with SOME keywords, my production wiki returns a "blank" page. If I use the same words on the test wiki, no probs-results are returned (content in both wikis are same).

Sounds like one of those "security" plugins for your web server, perhaps mod_security.
It's set in an overprotective mode that freaks out and denies access when it sees bits of text coming through the form submission that it thinks are indicative of an SQL or code injection attack.
Contact your system administrator and let them know they've misconfigured the software and should back it out to more reasonable settings.

Um... which logfile are you getting this from? I was wondering more about the httpd error log and expecting a php message like: FATAL ERROR: something or other on line X in something.php.
Also, is the white screen of death dependent on any extensions? I recently found one with one of my extensions (PagesOnDemand/ PMIDonDemand - I wrote the latter, so it's my fault!) where a failure condition didn't check to see whether creation of an article object had succeeded, followed by trying to call a method on a non-object. I'm wondering if either a) and extension is sensitive to the specific page names that cause the crash or b) database damage is leading to failure to create a page that MW thinks is there, but which doesn't have the right database entries. That usually doesn't give the white screen of death, though.
