I already looked into the best way to handle this myself.

The plan is to add a "Not what you're looking for? You can instead search for
<pages containing "...">.".

The way to do this is with JS. Listen for the submission of the search form. On
submit save the search query into sessionStorage. On page view if you're on the
searchpage discard it. Otherwise use it to insert that message.

sessionStorage is supported by just about every modern browser, in fact even
IE8 supports it. sessionStorage is tied to the specific tab you are in, so even
if you submit two pages at the same time it'll never be confused about what
page to put the message on. If IE7- support is necessary we can use the same
technique with a cookie fallback. It won't be as perfect but it's just for
minor compat.

I think I actually started writing it somewhere (can't remember where it is).
The hardest part is really just figuring out where to output the message and
how to do it in a skin-independent way.
