I guess you could make some Javascript code, similar to Wiktionary's Auto-Redirect. If you enter http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Technocracy for example, you get redirected to http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/technocracy?rdfrom=Technocracy See section "URL fixes" here: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js I'm not sure whether it would work with Special:Search, though. --Tobias
