That standard and expected way to create new entries on a wiki is by
creating a link to the term from another entry.
A "create new entry" button encourages orphan pages, which is generally
considered a bad practice on a wiki; particularly since search queries
are often in a form that's not ideal for page titling (odd case, extra
words, etc).
However you can sneak in an edit link for negative results from a "go"
request by editing [[MediaWiki:Nogomatch]], like this:

Also, is there a way have a index of terms
automatically generated?
Does [[Special:Allpages]] do what you want?
