--- Comment #4 from Philippe Verdy <[email protected]> ---
We don't nee this tab, but wikis certainy want a better way to produce specific
search boxes that will look in some namespace or category.

These custom boxes will also be tuned to the place where they will be used
(they can't be necessarily the same in the main namespace, in the Template
namespace and in the Project namespace, or in user talk pages: eahc namespace
want their own local tuning). For that, wikis will develop some templates that
cn be inserted in their pages (so avoid duplicating other search boxes
elsewhere in the page as they cause confusion).

But the basic default search box of the wiki should only search in the main
namespace (or possibly just in the current namespace where the default
searchbox is viewed).

Ayway users can customize their prefered search spaces by adding a few ones if
they want to add them to the default search box. They can also add gadgets to
their user page to modify or complement this default search box.

Also I don't like that the default search uses the "I feel lucky" strategy used
by default and that brings up directly to a found page (just because its name
matches exactly the search string), without using a first landing page of
results where extra seach options can be adjusted before following a link.
Searching does not mean that we want to visit that page.
