I added a wiki page to a github repository but when I do a search in github for a sample text from it "this is a very nice wiki page can we search it" no results are found, instead, I get We couldn't find any repositories matching 'this is a very nice wiki page can we search it'. Is there a way to tell github that this wiki page should be searchable?

There is a built-in search feature, since Aug 8, 2016. It is in the same search bar at the top of any of your project's github pages.

As far as I know there isn't any way to use GitHub's built in search feature for Wiki pages. I guess it may be something they add in the future.

You can use the GitHub Wiki Search Chrome plugin to achieve the same thing.
