Requesting a small enhancement permitting extension developers to perform an
action when a search term fails.

Specifically, in SearchEngine.php, near line 115, in the 'getNearMatches'
method, right after:

<code>
$title = Title::newFromText( $searchterm );
</code>

Adding this code:

<code>
wfRunHooks('SearchEngineNoNearMatchFound', array(&$title) );
if ( $title->exists() ) {
    return $title;
}
</code>

Would be very helpful.

I'll be happy to answer any questions about this.
