As should be expected, ikiwiki

  http://ikiwiki.info/plugins/search/

For any that have not come across it, ikiwiki is a bit different, in
that it is in fact a compiler that generates the wiki pages into static
content every time you change the content, which means that it's very
good for busy sites, since it's not relying on a back-end database, and
not wasting CPU on regenerating the content.  For software folks, the
fact that the content stored in the version control system of your
choice, and so editable in you favourite editor (as well as via the web
interface) is also very nice -- not that that stops normal wiki usage.

Cheers, Phil.
