All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV

[GethN7]

Because I was just reminded of the search problem again, I have created a Phabricator ticket for it.  Let's see what happens.

Okay, apparently we're not the only ones suffering.  Our ticket and another have been rolled into a single new ticket called "Search issues caused by rebuildtextindex.php data too long error" -- a PHP script is failing because something feeding to it is handing it a string too big for it to handle.  They're debating what to do about it now.

Oh boy, as someone who has managed his own MW installs, that probably means there is either some corrupted data or the cache is gagging trying to cash a check the tables can't write. John has proposed a decent end-run solution that should bust everyone over the hump if it works though.
