Search Sharepoint 2010 cannot crawl mediawiki site

Question

Using a search for a corporate SharePoint domain, we are trying to crawl our internal wiki-based website. The search did not complete with the error: "The URL has been moved constantly. (URL redirected to ...).

Since there are case-sensitive URLs on the wiki site, when Sharepoint 2010 tries to bypass sub-URLs, the Wiki says “the page does not exist” and is redirected from 301 !!!

Has anyone got a solution? Thanks in advance.

By default, all crawled links are converted to lowercase by the SharePoint search index. You will need to create case-sensitive crawl rules. Take a look at the following message:
