searching on the wiki with characters such as ")" or "(" (maybe there are more?) will show a page with the following: Database Error. A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. Examples of Search: test) test( If a ticket for this has already been open, please close this ticket and refer to me where the issue so I can be monitoring it.

Updated that the version of wiki 1.23.1
Haha :) I am not good at searching, but I stumbled on this: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23108 and I am going to quote this "Some quick testing indicates this is very likely to be caused by a literal '(' in the $terms parameter, which is thrown into a regex unescaped." Notice that he says literal '('? That is what we share in common. Replication steps: 1)On a configured MediaWiki, on the upper right corner, there is a search textbox 2)Type something that includes the literal ')' (Example: "test)") or the literal '(' (Example: "test(") 3)The following error shows when searching such values from point 2: "Database Error. A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software."
I also am not competent on how mediawiki works. I am more of a normal user than a heavy user knowing the internals behind. I hope my bug post helps and if not, hopefully it is referred to the correct # issue.
(In reply to Andre Klapper from comment #1) > Which of those few hundreds? Please provide exact steps to reproduce. :) Oh sorry, I didn't realize that you refer to your own hosted instance. Search is about to get replaced by LuceneSearch so this is probably low priority currently...
