Hoi, In the latest hack by Magnus, he has expanded the search capability to Wikidata so that you will get automatically generated descriptions but also a link to Commons, a link to the Wikipedias and a link to the Reasonator.
The last bit is extra special because it will show you information in the language of the Wiki with a fall back to English. At this stage Reasonator only works for people. (ie "is a" "human").
What we would like is to have a nice logo for the Reasonator. it should look good as an icon in the search and it should look good on a bigger scale. I asked Lydia and, she may throw in a Wikidata T-shirt if she likes the result.
I blogged about all this, [1] and, there is a link included that explains how to add the search capability to your Wikipedia profile. Thanks, Gerard

Do we have any other instances where we link to external sites within search results, this seems slightly concerning to me.

And also OT for this list. :) But yes, there are plenty of instances of Special:Search sending users to other search engines if they choose so; content may not directly loaded except from Wikimedia servers for the (current) privacy policy (can't speak for the future one if any).
