I haven't tested it, but maybe the allow_in_form configuration directive I
added a few weeks ago will do what you want.

If you specify
allow_in_form: search_algorithm
in the configuration file,
and add something like
<SELECT NAME="search_algorithm">
<OPTION VALUE="exact:1 prefix:0.6 synonyms:0.5 endings:0.1" SELECTED>default
<OPTION VALUE="exact:1">exact 
<OPTION VALUE="endings:1">endings 
</SELECT>
to the search form, you should be able to override the settings in the
config file.

(It's in the current CVS tree.)

Cheers,
