I don't think it's a good idea. The wiki is not for users, it's for contributors. Most of it will be really confusing for users. We do have a link to the wiki near the header, it's called "Contributors" cause the wiki is for contributors. A more prominent wiki link would probably fit as part of the new hub.fpo contributor hub idea.
I don't agree that wiki is for contributors only, not even mostly for contributors. There is a lot valid information for users as well.
Regarding search, there has been plans for years to have a search system for the entire fedora ecosystem, unfortunately nobody ever implemented that and I don't think anyone is working on that.
So why not to add a simple "Search wiki" for now and change it if anyone comes with a better solution?
