[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add search box to diaries page (#3289)

[Martijn van Exel]

There was an interesting suggestion in the comments section of my diary entry. It seems that search engines are pretty capable to handle a diary-specific search given the right syntax. I am guessing most users coming across the User Diaries page do not know how to compose a search command like this. So I suggested (copying from the diary comment):

> Perhaps there is a way to create a search box that parses whatever the user enters and redirects (new tab) to search engine results. So a user would enter, for example, `openstreetcam` and this would open a tab with `https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Aopenstreetmap.org%2Fuser+diary+%22openstreetcam%22`.

As an added bonus, it would expose more users to a privacy-centered search engine.

Would that be a feasible implementation of this?
