You mean the indexing's too out of date, or something else?
The last index update seems to be somewhere between 10th and 20th May. Could be better.
We're aware of that problem. Brion's been working on improvements to the dump process; once those are done, I suspect automation will be adopted. When this happens, more frequent updates will be possible.
I've also quizzed him of late, and I am of the impression that better indexing is on the agenda too.
Meanwhile, could I request that redirects be deprioritised in search results? For example, search for "Couesnon". The first two matches are redirects to "Couesnon River", the actual article, which appears 3rd.
That's possible.
