I was researching information to create my XML Sitemap to submit it to Google, and I found out that Wikipedia even place a customized SearchBot...
How this is done?

The official name for them is "Sitelinks"

I looked into this a few weeks ago and discovered that you can't do anything to your site to make this happen. The availability of those links is decided by some "mysterious" algorithm that Google run.
