The idea is basically that it should automatically do that search,  show at least one search result, and not wait for the user to do it.

For example, a normal search for a  string like "Jedi bio" will have 0 results, while a prefix index search for http://starwars.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Jedi bio will have at least 1 result.

Anyway my idea was that it would do this search automatically and put something like:

" There is currently no text in this page, but there are 11 similar pages found similar to "'Jedi b'" . You can  search for this page title   in other pages, or  search the related logs ."

Or alternatively if the match is something like > 75 % for something like "infob:

" There is currently no text in this page, did you mean "infobox" . You can  search for this page title   in other pages, or  search the related logs ."

In cases where there is a single match, you could just show that page name. Simple effective, no fuss no muss, and the API already supports it, so there isn't a lot of development requirement.

Now that I think of it, it might be possible to embed these results without wikia staff involvement, is the relevant MediaWiki page Whitelisted?
