Is there a search limitation with mediawiki? I can
enter plain text words

if that text is in the format of say something like this SOX-1.2 or PCI
1.2.3 it fails.
MySQL has a minimum word length in its full-text search. The default
is 5 characters. You'll need to adjust this option (ft_min_word-len)
in the [mysqld] and [myisamchk] sections on the MySQL config file
(my.cnf). Then restart MySQL. Then, to rebuild the MediaWiki text
index, run "php maintenance/rebuildtextindex.php" from the MediaWiki
root directory.
