A magnifying glass has also a clear sign of search :P
I just have set the link to search results both green and with a 
magnifying glass. Please comment.


Man, I don't know how the skin's author managed to broke so many things:
*Incompatible ids with other skins.
*Doesn't load Mediawiki:Searchwikia.js
*Broken delete link
*Breaks convention using capital letter for user scripts
*There's no visual difference for existing and missing Talk (or article 
if you're at a talk page),
*Links to tha page or talk at the action-bar have nofollow.
*Doesn't work with Special:ProblemReports (though the fail is on 
ProblemReports side by
assuming all skins will load its js code). Another "nice" page, which 
the 31 jan 
<http://images.wikia.com/common/extensions/wikia/ProblemReports/ProblemReports.js?20080131112859> 
edit seem to
have broken even more (try accessing with allinone=0).
