It's hard to work correctly with these huge dumps. Try to download a 
different dump. Someone would have better answer than me.

Wikipedia uses Lucene search, while MediaWiki's default install search 
is MySQL MyISAM fulltext index - which is much simplier and slower.
You may try to install Lucene
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lucene

SphinxSearch is somewhat simplier alternative, probably a bit easier to 
install - I use it at some wikis.
