I did. :-)

MediaWiki interprets searches for IP addresses with the "Go" button as
indicating that I want to see the contributions to the wiki from that IP address, so I had
to use the "Search" button. Also, very old versions of MediaWiki lack a
workaround for some of MySQL's fulltext searching behavior, which might lead to issues
like this.
Ok, a little more info. I'm using a spider+indexer to index my wiki, and some other
sites as well:
http://www.sphider.eu/
It finds the pages with IP addresses as well, and indexes them. However, it also returns
zero results when I try to search for IP addresses.
I realize this is beyond the scope of the list, but it is a bit peculiar. Actually,
it's kinda annoying. :)
I installed the sphider and database on a new CentOS 6.3 install, so MySQL should be
current.
Thanks for the replies!
