Thanks for the quick reply.
Is there any way I can force the wiki to always perform a full-text search
which (I believe) is case-insensitive or force the title search to be
case-insensitive? In case it matters, I get identical results whether I use
"go" or "search".

So, there are a lot of pages that match
"pids", but depending on how
you enter the query you get very different results. Does anyone have
an idea as to why this is happening? I can provide more strange
search results if needed...
When you hit the "go" button it first tries some exact and approximate
title matches before passing on to the regular (and slower) fulltext
search. Since the title field is case sensitive, different cases don't
always return the same matches in these checks.
