Colin,
See http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-November/008222.html and http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-December/008716.html for different ways to implement what you are looking for.
Also, http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fmail.wikipedia.org%2Fpipe... might be of some use for further options. :P
Best regards,
Tom Preuss

Google has a feature called "Site Search" that does exactly what you are looking for. See http://www.google.com/features.html#sitesearch for details.
Ah, yes I do use that feature but with a few lines of HTML there can be a search bar directly on that page that inserts that code for us. I use it on my phpBB forum. I still have not figured out how to get it in my wiki. Here is the details:

I don't quite understand php well enough to get it to generate into the search page. I am still trying however.
You can see it in the footer on my forum here:

I would like it to show up when I get a search with no results on my wiki as well. :?
