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.

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.

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?

An example:

A search for "ഇനിയുമുണ്ടൊരു ജന്മ" gave the following result - https://ml.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%B0%E0%B4%A4%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%AF%E0%B5%87%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%82:%E0%B4%85%E0%B4%A8%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%B5%E0%B5%87%E0%B4%B7%E0%B4%A3%E0%B4%82&search=%E0%B4%87%E0%B4%A8%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%AF%E0%B5%81%E0%B4%AE%E0%B5%81%E0%B4%A3%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%9F%E0%B5%8A%E0%B4%B0%E0%B5%81%20%E0%B4%9C%E0%B4%A8%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%AE&fulltext=%E0%B4%A4%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%B0%E0%B4%AF%E0%B5%82&profile=all&redirs=1

Here, this index page is listed in the search result - https://ml.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%B4%A4%E0%B4%BE%E0%B5%BE:%E0%B4%87%E0%B4%9F%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%AA%E0%B4%B3%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%B3%E0%B4%BF_%E0%B4%B8%E0%B4%AE%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%82%E0%B5%BC%E0%B4%A3%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%A3_%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%83%E0%B4%A4%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%BE.pdf/175

But, this page (which was created including the above specified index page) also contains the same text, but is not listed in the search result - https://ml.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%B4%AE%E0%B4%A3%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%A8%E0%B4%BE%E0%B4%A6%E0%B4%82

This is the issue with all the pages created from index pages.

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.

This should all be resolved with cirrus search. I believe that this is a dead bug.

To extrapolate. the issue was that search did not find the content of transcluded pages, be they transcluded by <pages> or as templates. Cirrus search indexes on transcluded pages not on the page text directly.
