User blog comment:Dopp/Updates to How We Search/@comment-2144972-20120429214603

i don't know why you don't just have the Go and Search options.

first, redirects now don't work properly. if someone searches for an alternate name of something, and don't know the actual name of the thing the article uses, you're just confusing them by not taking them to the page. second, users are not taken to disambigs, which are designed to take them to their correct article. Search isn't as efficient, and most viewers aren't as likely to go onto disambigs as if, y'know, they were forced to?

gawd, going directly to articles was not a problem. the only problem was that there was a lack of a search button. when i first noticed the change in search i thought it must have been an accident, because no one in their right mind would make it more difficult to get to articles. i was clearly wrong.
