Hi all,
I'm Hicham from Paris. I just created a young company which mission is to "make the web speak" :) As a first step, I'm building a french version of "*Wofram Alpha Q&A like"
- system based on dbpedia & wikimedia API.
As I had some issues to get quick API results for queries, I decided to install wikimedia and host my own version of the french Wikipedia. I did the install from scratch. Following the online documentation, I managed to do it using MWdumper http://izipedia.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Wikip%C3%A9dia:Accueil_princip...
*My first issue is the following:* I have an article in wikipédia about this guy: http://izipedia.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Andr%C3%A9_Manoukian When I search for it in the french official wikipedia api server I got a result
http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&limit=10&format=... but not in my server
http://izipedia.com/mediawiki/api.php?action=opensearch&limit=10&for...
Although, in other cases opensearch works fine
http://izipedia.com/mediawiki/api.php?action=opensearch&limit=10&for...
Any idea ?
*My second issue is the following:* Api calls never work with the param "*query*" See for example
http://www.izipedia.com/mediawiki/api.php?action=query&list=search&f... wich once again is working really nicely in the official server
http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&format=xm...
In advance thank you very much for your kind advices, best regards, Hicham

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? :)

Perhaps extension:TitleKey and/or extension:MWSearch ( with the lucene stuff). The default search stuff with no extensions is kind of rudimentary.

Thanks Andre & Brian ! In fact I didn't install any template ! Is there a tutorial about that ? Same for adding extensions, I didn't find a way to that from the admin panel ? Any link(s) will be welcome

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
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Version
In particular, the ParserFunctions extension is necessary for {{#if: (used by many Wikipedia templates) to work correctly and not show up on screen.

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. )

There was a typo. The URL is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MWSearch
