Bug ID: 64185
Summary: case variants are prioritized over redirects for the
exact seach term
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: lucene-search-2

If there exists a redirect page for the exact search term, but also a
non-redirect page with different capitalization, the latter is what you get
when you put that term in the search box and press enter.
For example, on English Wikipedia, [[Koan]] is a redirect to [[Kōan]]. However,
if I put "koan" into the search box and press enter, I end up at the page
[[KOAN]]. If a redirect page that exactly matches the search input exists, this
should always have a higher priority than a page with different capitalization.
(I been having frustrations with the way redirects are handled by search for a
while now, but the precise problem never crystalized for me until now.)
