This may belong as a fmt=addmissing option instead of trying to add
PageNotFound functionality to every output format.

But beyond that, what page name?  I.e., if someone
enters a search query of "dessert +apple -ipod 'flaky crust' group=Food",
what page name(s) should we offer to create?  ;-)

It's an excellent idea -- I'm just not sure how it would work in the
more complex cases.
