I kinda don't like how you can see markup in a search results page.. in fact.. you see a lot of markup in the exerpt from the webpage.. I really don't think that should be the acse.. Is there a way to strip that out before that text is shown? It just looks ugly, and confusing and crowds everything.. on the case of redirects, maybe we could change it to "This page is an alias to ..." ? Any onpinions on this?

I've always considered that having the markup appearing that way to be an advantage, especially when I'm looking for links to fix, or to create.
I don't see the point or need for changing the redirects to what you suggest.

I see what you are saying, this is really useful from an editorial standpoint, but if I'm just looking for an article on say "Johnson" because i dont remember the first name, the last thing i want to see is..
"<caption><font size="+1">'''Andrew Johnson'''</font></caption> "
if the html doesnt show: "<caption><font size="+1">'''Andrew Johnson'''</font></caption> "
when "Andrew Johnson" would have been more appropriate and helpful..
