A good starting point for contributing to Wikia Search is the community
portal: http://search.wikia.com/wiki/search:Community_Portal

Good ways to contribute are:

o Write or improve Mini articles in the Search Wiki.
   Simply use the search engine to search for the word(s) you are
   interested in and use the edit link in the mini article area above the
   search results to start editing a mini article.  If you already have
   suitable text, simply copy and paste the text.

   If your search query is in language X (Hindi, for example), then the
   mini article should also be in language X.  If you have text in
   multiple languages, the best way is to create separate mini articles
   for each language, and using interlanguage links to link them.
   Note that at the moment, interlanguage links for non-english
   languages are not very well supported.
   See 
http://search.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Languages_of_the_Mini_Articles#Interlanguage_Links

   If this is too complicated for you, you have the option of putting
   all languages on the same page (each under its own heading).

   Remember that Wikia Search is a search engine.  Mini articles
   should be short and sweet.  If you are looking
   to write encyclopedic articles, consider contributing
   to http://www.wikipedia.org/ instead.

o Translate existing pages to a language that you know.

o Add starting points for the grub crawlers to the whitelist (use Google
   to find the whitelist).

Have fun contributing!  Rainer
