[[plugins/search]] could provide OpenSearch metadata. Various software supports OpenSearch (see the Wikipedia article on [[!wikipedia OpenSearch]]); in particular, browsers like Firefox and Iceweasel will automatically discover an OpenSearch search and offer it in the search box.

More specifically, we want to follow the OpenSearch Description Document standard, by having a link with rel="search" and type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" in the headers of HTML, RSS, and Atom pages. The href of that link should point to an OpenSearchDescription XML file with contents generated based on the information in ikiwiki.setup, and the title attribute of the link should contain the wiki title from ikiwiki.setup.
