SQL search is intentionally disabled on Wikidata, and all the data that would back it (i. e. the term_search_key and term_weight columns) is not available. If for some reason we want to enable SQL search again, all that data needs to be reconstructed first, but the reason we disabled it in the first case is to reduce database bloat, because wb_terms is such a worryingly large table.
Basically, keeping the ability to fall back to SQL search costs us large amounts of database storage space, which doesn’t seem to be worth it when we really want to be using CirrusSearch anyways. We could discuss that decision, but it’s not a simple config change.
