@Ciencia: What's with all the glorification of redirects? Creating a system of redirects to reduce searches means an ungodly amount of work. How exactly is that preferrable to a search with error correction? I'm not at all saying writing a good error correction is easy. Quite the contrary. It's hard. But that doesn't make such a primitive system as redirects superior. I'm willing to bet if you ignore the case of the search term, throw out all stop words and allow for a Levenshtein distance of two or three, ninety percent of redirects suddenly become superfluous.
