A rough temporary way to solve this with firefox+greasemonkey or other browsers with userscript support: // ==UserScript== // @name          Wikia search fix // @description   Wikia search fix // @include       http://*.wikia.com/index.php?search=* // @include       http://*.wikia.com/wiki/index.php?search=* // @include       http://*.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=* // ==/UserScript==

(function {  'use strict';  var new_loc = unsafeWindow.$('div.searchresults strong a').attr('href');  if (new_loc) {    if (new_loc.substr(0, 4) !== 'http') {      new_loc = window.location.host + new_loc;      new_loc = 'http://' + (new_loc.replace(/\/+/g, '/'));    }    window.location.href = new_loc;  } }); for opera and maybe others just replace "unsafeWindow" with "window", tested on newest firefox and opera.

It identifies the "top" result and redirects to it (only if top result available)
