Yes you can. Write some JavaScript that sends an AJAX request to
http://yourwiki.com/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=blahblah
and displays the results. If the 2 sites are on different domains, you
will need to use JSONP callbacks; to do this, add
&format=json&callback=nameOfYourCallbackFunction to the URL and
include it as a <script> tag, or use jQuery's built-in AJAX facilities
to handle this for you (by adding &format=json&callback=? to the URL
instead and setting some parameter somewhere to JSONP; see the jQuery
documentation for details).
