"Is there anyway to get Google to start indexing it so searches show up?"

It's doable using git to push the Google site verification file and sitemap up to the wiki:

https://gitlab.com/chuckcraft/wiki-sandbox/-/wikis/googlec8f713c0636a791c.html

https://gitlab.com/chuckcraft/wiki-sandbox/-/wikis/sitemap.txt

https://gitlab.com/chuckcraft/wiki-sandbox/-/wikis/home  

The sitemap file shows up on the wiki sidebar.

Not sure if that's a feature or a vulnerability.

Google also supports XML: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183668?hl=en

Google "chuckcraft TCP" - wiki is the first hit.

It looks like that applies to GitLab pages, which have their own subdomain. As I recall, Google's search console requires a unique domain name along with some sort of proof of ownership, e.g. making a uniquely named file available for download.

The link from Chuck to Google's search console (or one click on at https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome) has an option for a URL prefix with multiple options for verification that seems it would work for our gitlab.com/wireshark prefix.
