Built-in Search Not Returning Page Text Results

I'm setting up an internal wiki. It currently only has the default main page and test page with text. The built in search only returns results for queries that mach exact page titles. For example, the main page will only show up in the results if "main page" is the search. Nothing is returned if you try to search for specific words that exist on the page. I tried removing the rows in the searchIndex table and running rebuildTextIndex.php. I also tried rebuildAll.php. The rebuildTextIndex script ran fine, but rebuildAll crashed when rebuilding links. The entries in the searchIndex table appear as Chinese characters. I'm not sure if this is just because the results from rebuildTextIndex aren't human readable and happen to fall in that section of characters, or if the script is actually returning incorrect values.
