I'm not sure why search results go back into the search engine to be redirected instead of going directly to the page. We return the full link in action=opensearch which is used in other contexts (browser go-bar, etc.). It has simply "always" been that way, at least for the last decade, and never revisited. I wouldn't be surprised if it was done that way as a simplifying factor long ago, or perhaps based on an assumption that search autocomplete might some day complete search queries in addition to page titles. I don't see any particular reason the queries need to route back through the search engine instead of following the provided link directly.
