Nepomuk is basically the service which does the search and Strigi is the indexer which feeds data about files into the Nepomuk database. There is currently a packaging/policy issue wit Nepomuk since the preferred database engine is Java based and distributors do not want to add dependencies on Java. Since Mandriva is a major sponsor of Nepomuk (they are one of the companies in the respective EU research program and their employee Sebastian Trüg is the main Nepomuk-KDE developer) they probably jsut decided to accept the additional dependency or ship the low-performane Redland backend.
