searchindex contains, well, the search index, which means it's not the
complete content and some things like short words and non-ASCII
characters get encoded so they can be found more easily. For getting
the content, you should do something like:
$title = Title::newFromText("Main Page"); // Or use some other way of
obtaining a Title object
$article = new Article($title);
$content = $article->getContent();
Note that getContent() has the annoying side effect of returning a
"This page does not exist"-like message if the page doesn't exist, so
you'll wanna check for $title->exists() as well.
