Thread:Talk:Search/Filters not working/reply (4)

Well that's still a problem. First of all, it is not transparent that redirects are being followed, I am being presented with the top result of "Engineering" which patently does not match my search specification and no indication of why it was included. Secondly, while I might possibly (or possibly not) have wanted to know about redirects, I probably don't want them at the top of the list. If redirects are going to be included, the name of the redirect should be in the results, not its target, it should be marked as a redirect, and it would be rather useful if it could be optionally suppressed.

The whole reason a user would use the prefix filter is they want exactly those pages that match. Not pages that are associated in some way.
