I've installed the rebuilt en.wiki index at http://ls2.wikimedia.org/ Note however, there is a bug with redirects showing up in search results, but this is just a glitch I'm fixing later today, so you can safely ignore them.
Please don't! This search is simply perfect for finding old unusable redirect with no purpose. For example http://ls2.wikimedia.org/search?dbname=enwiki&query=Germany&ns0=1
(who needs camelcase redirects these days?)
It is my impression that the overall search result quality has improved since I last checked.
As a sidenote: this search is still incredibly fast. Do you have more information about the number of queries and the load on the involved machines?
