Redirects are included in search suggestions as long as they are
sufficiently different from the target page. There is likely some other bug
occurring here, will look into it.

Hi Discovery,
I accidentally discovered ( ;) ) that on ENWP, both mobile and desktop,
redirects aren't included in search suggestions. This a bit important when
ENWP has nothing on our main page about Brexit, and when I try to search
for Brexit the lack of a search result implies to me that we have no such
article. Actually, we do have an article under a much longer name, and
"Brexit" is a redirect. So I'm wondering if it would be good to include
redirects in search results, perhaps appended with "(Redirects to <article
name>)". What do you think?
Thanks,
Pine
