I am having trouble understanding how the search mechanism prioritises results.
One would assume that a search for _Dark brown_ (ie just the words, no quotes involved) would result in a list topped by the article [[Dark brown]]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Dark+brown&fulltext=S...
It's not even in the first 50! And surrounding it with quotes does not help.
Is [[Wikipedia:Searching]] current? I couldn't find anything on there to help, although I'm having a quick squirrel through the linked document at MySQL.

We use Lucene search now, not MySQL's FULLTEXT search. :)

the history for this article suggests that it was created after the last search index rebuild and will therefore not appear.

How often are the Lucene search indexes rebuilt?
whenever Brion gets around to it :)

every week or two, maybe. it varies since the new search system is still being worked out. recently more effort is being spent on the 1.5 conversion.

How much work is this? I can't really imagine it would be more than a few commands. Can't this be automated to run once every night (or every weekend, if it's too much load)?

I see this hasn't gotten through to you yet.
The updater system's not done yet; it's experimental and needs more work yet. For now it gets run from time to time, not on a regular schedule.
