Wikia has two types of searches:


 * 1) a simple search that only looks at page titles. This search is rather dumb. It will only find pages whose title starts with your search term. This search is used for the autocomplete on the search box. For your wiki this search is completely useless since most page titles seem to start with "Item XXX"
 * 2) a full text search that ignores the page titles and looks at their contents only. Whether this search can find what you're looking for depends on how many times an article mentions its titular subject in the body text.

In short: Your prospects are grim.
