[Mediawiki-l] search weirdness

Hi,

I'm just using the standard Mediawiki 1.15.1 search on my wiki (http://fraternityofshadows.com/wiki/)
(I tried installing some other mods but had no luck.  Is there an easy to install mod that provides better searching?)

Some searches don't seem to work when there's clearly a page that it should find.

Example:
http://fraternityofshadows.com/wiki/Wonder
If you type "wonder" in the search box and "Go", it will go there.
If you type "wonder" in the search box and hit search, nothing:
http://fraternityofshadows.com/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=wonder&fulltext=Search
BUT if you type "mechanical wonder" and hit search...
http://fraternityofshadows.com/w/index.php?search=Mechanical+Wonder&ns0=1&title=Special:Search&fulltext=Search&fulltext=Search

now you get some pages.

What's going on here?

Thanks,

Ron
