How does Wikipedia Search work?

I start working in web technologies so scary if I have a chronic question.

Wikipedia and other similar sites that host a million web pages. How search works on these pages. Do they keep all html pages in memory? if yes. What is the possible data structure used to store all html pages for storage in memory and quick search among them?
