For example, when searching for "ant lion", Special:Search produces the following HTML: <p class='subtitle'>You searched for "<a href="/wiki/ant lion">ant lion</a>" <a href="/wiki/Special:Allpages/ant lion">[Index]</a></p> The server does not recognize URLs containing spaces; in browsers that do not replace spaces with %20, these links will fail.

This is not a MediaWiki bug, but rather a configuration error. The text on the results page are inserted from [[MediaWiki:Searchquery]], where $1 is replaced with the search term. If a valid link to a page named after the search term is desired, it should be put in [[MediaWiki:Nogomatch]], where $1 is replaced with a suitable URL for the term, and $2 is replaced with the search term in an HTML-escaped form. Please note that this description is valid for MediaWiki 1.4 only. In the current development version, $1 in MediaWiki:Nogomatch is replaced with :<search term>, and the whole text is then parsed as wiki marup.
