The table is marked as crashed, and an automatic attempt to repair
failed.
Use the MySQL command-line client to repair the table manually:
mysql --user=root --pass
> USE mediawiki ; - Or whatever your DB is called
> REPAIR TABLE `searchindex`;
If that fails you should restore your backup.

Wasn't the message clear? If not you might wish to submit a bug
report to the MySQL people to suggest alternative wording which
makes the problem more explicit.
