A page which is made from an index page using <page index> tag, is not listed in the search result when a text from that page is searched for. Only the index page containing that text is listed in the search results. Since <page index=> tag in a page creates pointers to the specific index pages and actually there is no real text in that page, it will not be listed in the search pages. Suggestion to redefine <page index> tag or define a new tag so as to list those pages also in the search results. If an index page is listed in the search result, all the pages which uses that index page as a source should also be listed.
I think, much improvements required in Internal Search system of Mediawiki. For example, searching for the phrase മൈസൂർ രാജ്യത്തിന്റെ ഉത്തരപരിധിയിൽനിന്ന് in google - http://goo.gl/RrTyj - gives results from ml.wikisource. Both Main and Page namespaces are listed in the result. But searching inside the wiki yields no results.

Could you provide / link to an explicit existing example, to make it easier to reproduce? sunil: Is your comment and example related to comment 0 (asking as you don't mention index pages), or more like a general complaint about the search?

(In reply to comment #3) താൾ in ml.wikisource is the PAGE namespace not INDEX
The issue reported in the initial comment 0 seems to be fixed for en.wikisource using Cirrus. I'm less sure about mlwiki.
