A little extra table with a string and a counter (to count multiple
ones), and maybe a timestamp, so we can automatically get rid of
queries that were searched only once for in, say, a month. Or a week.
You probably don't mean to display /all top 100 queries/ somewhere on
every page? ;-)
IMHO a link to "Special:Most searched topics" would suffice...

When I say "pick one" I obviously don't mean "display all". Is
there any
possibility that my original message could have been interpreted
otherwise? I think it's easy to interpret correctly what I said: pick
one, and show one; show *one* on *every* page. You're somehow twisting
it into pick *all*, show *all* -- which would obviously result in
showing them all on some isolated page... I was going towards a proposal
which would have made *one* failed query available for *all* users in
order for them to have a chance at fixing it somehow (either by creating
a redirect or by creating an article).
