I believe search is done on non-expanded wikitext, so I doubt that parser
functions makes much of a difference (however it is important in order for
your wikis not to be broken for human visitors).

The two extensions I was talking about were:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TitleKey which makes certain
things be case insensitive.

And more importantly
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MWSearchalong with
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lucene-search . This will
significantly improve your search results and is what wikipedia uses for
search. However be warned that this a hard extension to install. (Probably
the hardest to install of any mediawiki extension. )
