Regarding the colon, I'm seeing the same
thing when doing:
search for it using [
http://www.google.com/search?q=$1 Google]
The colon's needed so that if someone searches for [[Category:Foo]],
it doesn't fuck up and try to put the message page in a category.
As of MediaWiki 1.7, there's a second option, $2, passed to the
nogomatch message, which has the search term sans colon, for pretty
formatting purposes.
The colon belongs in the message text, not in the parameter.
