In English Wikipedia preferences there is this gadget: "Add a selector to the
Wikipedia search page allowing the use of external search engines."

When this gadget is enabled it allows one to choose from a dropdown menu of
various search engines at [[:en:Special:Search]]. 

It could easily be expanded to also have an option to do site searches: 
*http://www.google.com/#q=site:commons.wikimedia.org 

This would be especially useful during times when Wikimedia's search slows down
or stops. 

This is something that could be enabled by default in search preferences on all
Wikimedia Projects:
*[[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-searchoptions]]
