Easiest and most robust way is to add a url parameter to the search so the search url will be something like http://www.example.com/?s=xyz&from404=1. Probably easiest way to do that is by adding a hidden field to the form.
For “bonus points” use the browser’s history API to remove the parameter after the page load.
