How can I get my search box like the one at http://www.wowwiki.com where it searches in google in the search box?
Also it uses Google to search within templates - http://www.google.com/custom?domains=wowwiki.com&q=template%3AServer&...
Lastly how would one get a custom error page within the wiki rather then the server 404 page.. example - http://www.wowwiki.com/Cla

A quick search of mediawiki.org found this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google

You should automatically. What URLs are you getting 404's on? Take a look at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URLs for information on tidying up URLs (getting rid of the index.php bit) if that's what you're trying to do.

Yeah, I did the short URL's yesterday. Something like domain.com/Cla now gives me an error page within MediaWiki, but domain.com/Cla/jjg/kkj I get " The requested URL /Cla/jjg/kkj was not found on this server." If you look at www.wowwiki.com/Cla/jjg/kkj they still get the error page.
Also where do I edit the template for a more custom 404 rather the the default of There is currently no text in this page.... within MediaWiki.
Thanks!
That would be /index.php?title=MediaWiki:Noarticletext (which you can easily get at via /index.php?title=Special:Specialpages and search for the string, "There is currently no text...," but it's not really a 404 message - its a wiki message. I think you have to have server tinker-tailor-soldier-spy access rights to customize the pages thrown by the server.

I think you mean Special:Allmessages, not Special:Specialpages.

Sounds like a mistake in however you've done the short URLs - certain urls (ones with extra slashes, perhaps?) aren't getting passed to index.php. If you give the details of how you did the short urls (copy and paste the code you added and say what file(s) it's in) we might be able to help.

They are simply using sitesearch http://www.google.com/sitesearch
and modifying their skin to leverage it appropriately.
Rather than special extensions http://www.wowwiki.com/Special:Version
