Thread:Project:Support desk/I see a search results page instead of an article

I'd like to revive a question I posed in the summer:

I have now installed version 1.24.1 as a completely fresh installation on a different computer, with Vector as the skin, and I have the same issue. (The issue is that when I click "Search", MediaWiki presents a search results page, instead of bringing me to the article that matches the title.)

This leads me to believe that something has gone awry with Vector, because Monobook behaves as expected.

Does anybody know if there is a setting somewhere that tells Vector to bring users directly to the matching article? I have updated $wgVectorUseSimpleSearch, with no results other than the cosmetic addition of "go" and "search".
