I'm a little reluctant to formally suggest adding a wikicities-style Google search box, as I know Brion and Kate (and probably others too) have invested a fair bit of time and effort in the current Lucerne search system, and I don't want to offend anyone :-/
There is also the possibility that it could be considered to be bias towards Google. The only reason we have the Google box on the "search disabled" page is that it is the only way WP can be searched. Now, of course, if Google want to promote themselves and donate the coding and algorithm for their search engine to Wikimedia, cool!
