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.
