--- Comment #1 from TMg <[email protected]> ---
From what I hear a new search is in the making.[1] Maybe this feature request
should be assigned to the CirrusSearch team? It should be a breeze to
implement:

1. User enters a search term.
2. Special:Search checks if an article with this name exists.
3. [New] Check if it's a redirect. If it is do a 301 to the redirect target.
4. Else do a 301 to the article.

I must admit I'm not sure what happens to #anchors if you do this. Personally I
consider this less important than a clean URL. A possible solution to this is
to skip step 3 if the redirect contains an #anchor.
