The prefix filter shouldn't include redirects and it does right now.
Change 132973 had a related patch set uploaded by Manybubbles: Stop prefix: filter from searching redirects https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/132973
Interestingly, the intitle filter does not seem to include redirects.
Looks like lsearchd doesn't include redirects with intitle as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/intitle:%22quantum_mechanical%22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/intitle:%22quantum_mechanical%22?srbackend=CirrusSearch The reason prefix: includes redirects is because it "looks like" a prefix search, and prefix searches include them. It'll drop them when this is merged and released.
