This may be a separate issue, but this type of behavior is why I'm still very wary of the search index, particularly when its results are being used in important determinations (such as deprecating or killing code).
This is also why I'm still annoyed at needing to ask shell users to run mwgrep; text search via Special:Search is still (inexplicably) missing results. :-(
I don't see how these are related to this ticket, please create a new one or your complaints will be lost in some closed ticket. The particular case with monobook.js looks to be related to Sanitizer::stripAllTags(). It will likely be low priority, as i'm not qualified to dig through and adjust our mediawiki wide security related code.
