Description Nik Everett 2014-11-20 02:13:51 UTC 
In prefix search redirects shouldn't be ranked as highly as titles.  Right now they are and you get weird results like a search for "fish" getting "Fishspinner" as the second result.  As cool as that word is, its actually a redirect to tropical cyclone.

Bug 63627 strikes again? Not to be confused with bug 65232.

Its its own thing I think.  It is a side effect of my (unilateral?) decision to add redirects to prefix search.  I chose that to keep prefix search in line with the near match search behavior which redirects.  But yeah, its caused a few bugs.  I've played a little with these settings locally and I'm pretty happy with the outcome.  I'm also surprised this didn't come up before enwiki.  

Whatever, this is going to prod today.
