[Mediawiki-l] Searching in Mediawiki

Is there an document around that describes searching Mediawiki?  I notice
some strange results on our corporate wikis running on 1.5.

For example, one article contains the words "Best" and "Information".  If I
search the wiki for "information", the article is returned.  Search for
"best", and it is not.  Letter case doesn't seem to be the issue.

I notice this with other words, as well.  Is there like a common word list
that Mediawiki disregards because of queries returning too many results?

Thanks

Andrew
