You can limit the scope of a search using the "prefix:" operator. For example: http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=image+prefix%3ARelease+notes Unfortunately, I think you need Lucene-search for that functionality. If that's not an option, vanilla MediaWiki does let you limit the scope of a search to specific namespaces, so using namespaces instead of subpages would be a way to work around your problem.
