Customized en.wikipedia.org message:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Dollar+Index&sourceid=Mozilla-search

vs MediaWiki default message (forced to en_GB):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Dollar+Index&sourceid=Mozilla-search&uselang=en-gb


The default message adds just two lines from the 'go' search mode:

  No page title matches
  There is no page titled "Dollar Index". You can create this page. 

then followed by *actual page text search results*.

The English Wikipedia customized message is followed by a giant pagefull of
links to things you could do. On my laptop screen (1280x800) I can only see 4
pixels' worth of the first actual result at the bottom of the screen, which is
the exact target a searcher would be looking for.

The giant list of links should, if needed *at all*, probably only be shown if
you got no search results.
