I have noticed that sometimes you get pages coming up in a search that a
now only redirects.
Eg if you search on "mistake" you get
# Easily Made Mistakes
# New To London/Easily Made Mistakes
The second page is only a redirect to the first, so it confuses (IMHO)
the search results for it to be displayed.
Is there any way of suppressing it from the search results.

I think that's a fair point. I have raised an RT ticket (wishlist) for this:

If I might be so blunt as to give you my humble opinion:
Explicitly on OGL due to the BigRenaming
(http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?Big_Renaming) we have moved many
pages to include the Locale Name instead of the Postcode, and changed the
other pages to redirect.
Given redirecting pages are not longer shown in the SuperSearch and someone
remembers the postcode and not the Locale of, e.g., a Pub, he won't find the
corresponding page.
Is that what we want ?
The Surpreme Solution would be, that redirecting pages are not shown in the
Search Result but the page they redirect to - if this is in any programmable
way possible.

Surely the presence of the post code *on* the page would be picked up
by the search function?

Not sure how tricky this would be programmatically, but one could
check if a search result is a redirect and remove it should the page
it is redirecting to also be a search result?
