I believe search is done on non-expanded wikitext, so I doubt that parser functions makes much of a difference (however it is important in order for your wikis not to be broken for human visitors).
The two extensions I was talking about were:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TitleKey which makes certain things be case insensitive.
And more importantly https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MWSearchalong with https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lucene-search . This will significantly improve your search results and is what wikipedia uses for search. However be warned that this a hard extension to install. (Probably the hardest to install of any mediawiki extension. )

Wikipedia database dumps do include the site's templates; however, you need to install all the extensions listed under "Greffons de l'analyseur syntaxique" on

In particular, the ParserFunctions extension is necessary for {{#if: (used by many Wikipedia templates) to work correctly and not show up on screen.

Wild guess: Your HTML is not well-formed (unclosed elements like <p> or <small>) because many used templates (e.g. literal "{{#if: 2-7499-0796-9" in the Manoukian article) are missing / uninterpreted. Templates used in the New York article don't include such markup.
Make sure templates are installed and try again? :)
