To make sure I'm understanding you correctly... You would like to add academic or other (non-major) search engines to the drop down box on Special:Search on the English Wikipedia? That currently allows searching via Google, Yahoo, Windows Live, Wikiwix and Exalead in addition to the MediaWiki search.
Yes, that would be a good starting idea, although it would be nice to see it as an option for all the searches (i.e. using the search box that appears on all the pages of wikipedia) - but may be this can be done latter.
Probably the best list for this sort of discussion is wikitech-l.
OK, I will write to this list, thanks.
Thanks Benjamin
