Ryan, a good way to test that is to create a poll at the search results page with a question like "If a page with an exact title exists on this wiki, would you like the search engine to directly load that page instead of giving you this search results page?". I'm not sure if the new system even allows any addition on a MediaWiki page to add something like this. But it could be done with google analytics and adding the question and two buttons that track the results, on the wiki's JS. That would fill the lack of audience-testing on Wikia's decisions.
