A google search resulted in the following blog entry, which looks correct:

	
http://leefw.wordpress.com/2008/03/05/getting-past-default-searching-limitat
ions-in-mediawiki-and-mysql/

Here is the entry from the MediaWiki FAQ:

yword_giving_no_hits.3F

It isn't as informative as the blog entry, but pretty much says the same
thing.
