Reported by some it.wiki users, steps verified by me 4 times with 100 % "success": 1) [[wikt:it:Special:random]] 2) Search the wiki with a few words from the entry Observed: the entry is not found 3) Make a dummy edit to the page 4) Repeat (2) Observed: the page is found correctly Example: [[wikt:it:vita]] fixed with https://it.wiktionary.org/?diff=prev&oldid=1548546 , [[wikt:it:casa]] (<https://it.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Speciale%3ARicerca&profile=default&search=edificio+che+accoglie+temporaneamente&fulltext=Search>).
Also confirming the problem. jeremyb added the "ops" keyword, hence wondering if this is an indexing script issue on a lower level, or if this is CirrusSearch territory itself.
Removing ops, as either way it wouldn't require their help.
Fixed/fixing now. When the search index is fully rebuilt it'll be right again. We had a great cataclism. Search indexes were removed somehow and recreated with bad settings. Some stuff continued to work with the bad settings. Some stuff didn't. Expect to see some more bugs filed around how we make sure this doesn't happen again other than "don't let anyone other than Nik touch it."
