That's actually a good question. I'm actually just guessing here based on a similar system across DW wikis, but I'm fairly sure it first searches Wikimedia Commons, and then our database. This is probably not what we want; I'm sure we've got plenty of images of the same name, or images that were originally from WP but were adapted/cropped to better fit our image guidelines.

But again, this is mostly speculation, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
