Question

Mediawiki has a table in the database \'text\' which contains the page content. It is saved as a [BLOB] file. I would like to run a query to search through all the text on

As per the mediawiki documentation text table stores only the text for the revision. Hence to access the complete text, all revisions corresponding to a page need to be processed. It is better to use an API call to mediawiki search engine and process the results than search using SQL query.
