Search does not work on my new wiki. I'm using version 1.15.2 with SQLite. (I'm not talking about 3-letter searches as mentioned in the faq. *No* search returns any page.)
Can I turn on a log to verify new pages are being indexed? How? Which tables hold the index data?
If indexing isn't being done, how might I find out why not, and what should I do to turn it on?
Reading the documentation and archives, it appears search is a continuing source of difficulty up until 1.11, and that MySQL is the "expected" backend. I'm using 1.15 and SQLite.
Many thanks for any advice.

As mentioned in my release announcement, MediaWiki 1.16 now supports SQLite search. You can upgrade to 1.16.0beta1 to get a search engine and various other SQLite-related features.
After you upgrade, run maintenance/rebuildtextindex.php to add existing text to the search index.
