Doesn't make sense to me:
1) For some reason, in your URL I don't see "Бология" in the results, although
the page it redirects to ("Category:Биология" = "Категория:Биология") is
included. This behavior appears to be inconsistent with your comment.
2) A search tool should be able to find namespace pages even if they are
redirects. Their title /does/ match, after all. It probably makes no sense for
end users who lack interest in categories. But then please consider making "do
not follow redirects" an option.

> If possible, can you get the tool to work around this?
This wikilinker gadget needs to produce [[биология|биологии]], 
[[биология|биологией]], [[биология|биология]] links reliably.
[[Category:биология|биологии]] sort of links are against project policies. So I
guess no, I can't work around this, unless I missed some pretty things, or
unless I'm willing to do such an ugly thing as check for "Category:$1" pattern
in the result and manually check whether $1 main namespace page exists. One
would think that this has to be done server-side. (Lucene Search worked fine
with it, btw.)
