Losing the ability to search the user space (something

MediaWiki's search will never be as good as Google's) is a significant

I bet Google would be willing to provide Wikipedia with its own
private Google search appliance if "powered by Google" with a link was
at the bottom of the results. Of course, that'd probably piss off
some Wikipedians.
Alternatively, the Google Mini Search Appliance is only $2000, and
would probably be enough to do the trick.
