I went to Wikia-Search this morning to have a look.
It appears you have to have yet another password and user ID and be a 'member' to use the service.
I won't touch sites like that with a bargepole, so goodbye Wikia-Search.
And why didn't they name it 'WikiSearch'? Or 'WikiS'? It's easy to say 'I Googled to...'. Who is going to write, 'I Wikia-Searched to...'? Or say, 'I wick-ee-ah-searched'?
