The problem might be that OpenStreetMap wiki is running an old version
(1.13 vs 1.16 at wikipedia) of wikimedia. IIRC, search has been improved
a lot. Who could update mediawiki?

  Thanks,

I'm not found, buhu...

May be it's because I've just added that word four days ago? Don't know
how often the search engine is updating itself...

The problem is, that I want to find these pages. I do not know them.
The one in the example I found by chance. In this case I want to find
users who have the word "ostfriesland" on their user page in order to
organise a local meeting in Ostfriesland, which is the name of a
german region: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ostfriesland
People who live there, will identify with it and there is great
chance, that the word will occur on their userpage.

>Maybe the search index is out of date...
And what could be done to fix it?

MediaWiki search is pretty weak in general. If this is a specific issue for
those terms, consider making a page that links there directly.

Maybe the search index is out of date...

In some wikis, user pages are deliberately set up not to appear on Google.
Google a few users I can think of turns up nothing, but googling "user site:
wiki.openstreetmap.org" does show hits, so I guess Google's index is just
out of date.

[OSM-talk] OSM Wiki Search does not work

Hello, the OSM-Wiki Search does not work. E.g. a search (all options
activated) for "ostfriesland" does not find this page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Andre68
allthough the word "Ostfriesland" is present there. 
"luftbilder" and "lauf" does not find:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Luftbilder_aus_Lauf
and "boot" does not find:
>http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Boot_Düsseldorf_23.-31.1.2010

Because the Google search
ostfriesland site:http://wiki.openstreetmap.org 
does not find
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Andre68
as well, the problem is possibly located in the Wiki and not in the
search-process.
