On top of redirects now being shown in the dropdown list when searching for articles in the search bar, all registered editors (unregistered users can make an account here) can finally be taken directly to articles they search for again via editing their preferences, going to the "Under the Hood" section, checking the "Enable Go-search" option and hitting "Save". After that, you will be taken directly to any articles you type into the search bar.
Apologies for any inconvenience that may have been caused over the last few days to readers and editors who were affected by the changes.
