A search for "600 mps" has been reporting [[Jungle Carbine]] as a 'false positive' match for weeks now (since 27 June). A search for 'eden cumbria north west' has been failing to report [[Eden, Cumbria]] as a match for 7 weeks (also since June) i.e. it is a 'miss'. There are many other similar examples.
This happens because the search update occasionally runs into trouble and a block of updates are skipped. It'll continue to be incorrect until the searchindex row for that page is rebuilt. I suggest you make a trivial edit to the article.
Thanks for the reply. There are lots of such articles and I don't always know which ones they are. Is an edit the only thing that will fix the problem with search?
One can probably run ./maintenance/updateSearchIndex.php script. On wikipedia editing is the only solution.
