I wish the wiki used the WYSIWYG HTML control for content entry a la T3 instead of the text mode with python doc tags. And then I think an XSL transform should be used to strip out the tags to store a parallel copy of the content that is a pure text 'blob' and then that text blob need to be run through some sort of full text search preparation process which would identify keywords and insert them into an index. Each page would have one parallel text blob. The full text search could search the blobs using the index, and return the corresponding page links where matching text was found.
