No, the point is that [[film noir]] turns up 3rd on the search results, after [[Film Noir]], a redirect, and after the list of films noir. It would be bestto follow but not index redirects, right? Or is there a good reason to index them also?

We want him to include redirects. Ideally his software would know that they're redirects, but we want the result to come up if someone searches for an entry like "film noir".

It's best to index them, I think. OneLook is designed to look up the exact word(s) entered; if it followed the redirect instead, the results from Wikipedia would be different from every other source.
