[Mediawiki-l] Strange DB error

[Craig White]

I'm starting to get an increase of database errors when editing random
pages. This is the error I am getting:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the
software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "SearchMySQL4::update". MySQL returned error "1034:
Incorrect key file for table 'searchindex'; try to repair it (localhost)".
-----------------

Any ideas on how to resolve and why this is suddenly happening out of the
blue?

Thanks,
Craig
