Other posts have linked to general directions on tweaking the MySQL 
search index length limit. You can also upgrade to MediaWiki 1.14 or 
later, which works around the MySQL server's limit setting internally 
without any configuration required.

After either method, you need to rebuild the search index 
(maintenance/rebuildtextindex.php) or the new matches won't start 
working until you edit them.
