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
