I think {sisku} would be fine, as most UI labels are already ambiguous as

So, "sisku" _can_ mean "ko sisku"?

In general (if I understand correctly), any part of Lojban speech can be omitted when grammatically unambiguous. In this case, the context (application command) makes it fairly clear who is to perform the search.
