The "List redirects" option in the advanced search settings does not seem to have any effect. This is fine, as the new search interface lists the real page name next to the redirect name; but then the option should be removed.
Version: unspecified
Severity: trivial
Are you encountering this on a Wikimedia site or your own wiki? Can you provide a URL and a sample search term?
Wikimedia sites with the new search interface. Search results on en.wp for "incommensurability" with and without the "list redirects" option:

Trevor & Robert, can you take a peek at this?
It looks like there's a bug in the UI -- the 'redirects' parameter is coming up always checked in my local testing. Might or might not be backend issues via MWSearch / Lucene server as well, but can't get that far currently. :)

I looked and I don't even think there /is/ a redirects parameter anymore, at least there's no checkbox on the advanced tab. Closing as worksforme.
