screen capture of incomplete results page

I noticed this today on the English Wikipedia. I searched for "April 22, 2003", enclosed in double quotes (as documented in the Help:Searching page on that site). The search results show only two pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_State_Abington --where the phrase appears in a caption--and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Michigan_University_Department_of_Special_Education which contains the phrase in a reference.

When I search without the double quotes,

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=all&search=April+22%2C+2003&fulltext=Search

the results page informs me that "There is a page named "April 22, 2003" on Wikipedia" and shows other pages containing the phrase:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_2003
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felice_and_Boudleaux_Bryant
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Griffiths
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_King
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/143622_Robertbloch
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendezvous_in_New_York
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Paluck
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sick_of_Modern_Art

etc.

The site says it's running version 1.23wmf8.
