User blog comment:Dopp/Updates to How We Search/@comment-1333424-20120427083438

"Why? Well, there are a few reasons." Yeah, Special:Search suddenly gets enormous traffic... must be good for profit. "what people are actually looking for when they search for keywords" If they search for "foo", I think they are looking for foo, not a search results page. All shortcuts (note, all shortcuts are redirects but not all redirects are shortcuts) are suddenly broken and now you need to type out Project:Why This New Feature Is Bad instead of P:WTNFIB. This is plain ridiculous.
