Description mueller 2005-04-18 23:34:31 UTC 
As of April 19, 2005, the following search:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=greatest+games&go=Go
shows a search hit on 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_25_Greatest_Games_of_All_Time
with the caption "Relevancy: 73.4% - 0.9k (149 words) - 22:54, 18 Apr 2005".
The article was deleted on April 5. Other articles deleted the same day are also
found, e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Evan+long&go=Go
finds
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evan_long
Relevancy: 46.7% - 0.9k (149 words) - 23:03, 18 Apr 2005
Since the two sizes are exactly the same, it seems that search is finding
Mediawiki:Noarticletext.

Search index is manually updated from time to time.
So, changes made to the wiki are not reflected automaticly in
the search engine, just like google :)
