I see that there is a patch on bugzilla from a couple of years ago for bug 3188. The patch is supposed to allow users who are not signed in to use the default search settings in $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault. Anyone have experience with this? Any chance of getting it added to the main distribution? For my wikis, searching Category as well as Main by default would be good.

So... I tried this on 1.9.3 and it seems to work with both anonymous and new users. The patch is at:
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3188
I don't know if this is a related issue, but I also noticed that in 1.9.3 searching for a page in the Category namespace only goes to an exact page title match if Category is prepended, even if the same page name does not exist in the other namespaces being searched. Is that the desired behavior? Seems to me that it should jump to the one exact match in the set of searched namespaces if the user clicks Go.
