Using Google may be okay -- thanks for the various hints -- , but coming back to Wikipedia's own search facility, why do I get "Ann-Marie MacDonald" when I type in "Ann-Margret" (and there '''is''' an article with exactly this title)?

On the English Wikipedia, if I search for "Ann-Margret", I get [[Ann-Margret]]. If, however, I search for "ann-margret", I do get redirected to "Ann-Marie MacDonald" as you describe; only the first character of a title appears to be case-insensitive (which, for the search function, really shouldn't be the case, but I doubt there's much that can be done about it).

Are you sure you typed "Ann-Margret"? I get the article as expected. On the other hand, if I type "Ann Margret" I get to the article about MacDonald (unfortunately MySQL's relevance sorting isn't so great, so it's not the closest match). Perhaps a redirect should be created?
