Rebuilding the indexes might do it, see

Make sure you rebuild the search indexes after the namespace move

Hello mailing list!
This is my first time posting to the mediawiki list so bear with me if
I break any protocols and please correct me as needed.
I came into maintaining an internal wiki that has logs set up for
every day of the week that are filled out every day. There are over
200 of these logs as of today. This idea works well until someone
goes to search and they come across hundreds of useless log entries in
their search that clog up results. To add insult to injury, these
results conveniently begin with a NUMBER so they are always the first
hits and users have to wade past them to see their search results.
We still want to be able to search these logs, so putting them into
one page and referencing the view history is not an option. My idea
to clean this up was to put these existing logs into their own
namespace, and I'm trying to test out this idea in a development wiki
server. I'm able to do the mysql query listed the namespace manual,
and when I use the {{NAMESPACE}} magic word the pages show up in the
new namespace, but they are not separated from searching main, and
when I click on the new namespace in the advanced search and search, they don't show
up.
Really scratching my head with this one. I would be grateful for any
suggestions or alternate solutions.
Many thanks,
Devin
