I don't remember any rule to cover it either...how about treating the
knowledge skill roll as an open test and add half of it to the number
you get when you roll the active skill. The other two options I can
think of would be to assign a number value (possibly 1 as in Peter's
suggestion) per success and add them or give the active skill test extra
dice based on the number of successes generated by the complimentary skill
