Description:
Track all failed search requests, and make a SpecialPage to list FailedSearches. WikiGnomes can then create relevant #REDIRECT page. This is important data for early MediaWiki deployments.
Cool, Thanks!

People sometimes write stupid things in the search box, such as passwords (Why is this not typing in the login box <enter> <enter> oh look i just searched for my password, as the search box had focus). One would probably have to be careful to only show searches that people have typed in multiple times to avoid accidentally revealing private information.

That's not a big issue since those would just be one-time affairs. The returned list suggested would likely be things that *multiple* people typed in the search box to no avail.
