Maybe Wikia knows which of the Search options is used most. Up till now I didn't even consider Special Search competition, but I see it from an editor's eye and maybe the casual visitor uses it more to find an article. But I don't see Wikia prefering Special Search more for advertising, it has an ad but so do articles once they're clicked.
