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:
http://holographyforum.org/phpBB2/search.php
I would like it to show up when I get a search with no results on my wiki as well. :?

Hi,
i have installed Mediawiki 1.6.1 and use the english language. If a standard user (or a not-looged-in-user) wants to edit a page, at the bottom of the page the link "Editing help" links to "Help:Editing". If a user with german preferences edits a page this link shows to "My_site:Editierhilfe".
Is this a bug or a feature?
In this case i have to set up this (and similar) pages twice or even more, that is i have to create them in english, in german and so on. Right?

There appear to be discrepancies between some of the messages in different languages; the contents of the "edithelppage" message should point to the "Help:Editing" page by default, but don't in some localisations.

I would consider it a bug.

You can change the value in MessagesDe.php (in the languages folder) to point the German users to a different page. This allows for creation of, e.g. "Help:Editing", "Help:Editing/de" etc.

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
