[Mediawiki-l] Customising Search Results page

[Cian Duffy]

Hi

I've got a MediaWiki server running as a collaborative document
writing system here, but the users are moaning about the way required
to start a new page

Over on the WikiPedia, the Search function gives you the option to
start a new page if the title you searched for does not exist. I
cannot find any way to activate this on MediaWiki.

Is it an option I've missed, or does it require serious code changing?
