Yes, it does look like MediaWiki and so I guess from the number of
configuration options (if this is the right software)

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings

there ought to be some clever setting somewhere rather than it needing
any programming. Maybe the full search has been switched off to save
resources? Experimenting with the search it seems to miss some longer
words too, but I can't see a pattern to it.
