We don't lump the title with the text. The problem is when you've got a wiki
where there's a whole lot of the same text so it becomes harder to search
for things that happen to also be in that repeated text. Two good examples
so far are welcome-style templates on Talk namespaces and License
templates on files.

Another way of summarizing this is: we want to index all of the page text,
except when we don't.
