When searching on Special:Search, a suggestion is given to create a new page with the given search term if an exact match is not found.
e.g. 'Create the page "Berlin" on this wiki!'
It is possible to disable this via a hook it items are in the main namespace. On Wikidata (in some languages), the message is set to an empty message so nothing appears.

Bail out when trying to "create" entity pages
I went for TitleQuickPermissions instead of SpecialSearchCreateLink since the former seemed broader in scope.
Anyway it'd be fairly easy to switch them as you please.
BTW the message could still be customized as "searchmenu-new-nocreate" (empty by default).
