Indeed. Personally, I only use Google site search on Wikipedia (which, incidently, had [[Sheep shearer]] as the first result for "Blade shears").
I've noticed that Wikicities has a google search box below the built-in search. I wonder if we could have the same?
Considering it pops a Google search box in whenever the search function has been disabled, the code for this must already be out there.
The only problem I have with Wiki-via-Google is that Google also indexes redirect pages. Not the end of the world, but it always looks a little sloppy, but it's not really Google's fault.
I'm not sure what the effect would be of having redirects add a meta robots noindex tag to them, but it might be worth thinking about.
