Is GO-search broken? I'm getting the search results page instead of going directly to the page I want (yes, go search is set in my preferences, I confirmed it after it started going to the results page) This is particularly annoying with non-content pages, since they don't show up reliably in the search results. (special pages, templates, categories, etc)

- I turned this option on in my preferences a few hours ago and used it a couple of minutes ago at w:c:bloons and I think it's fixed. SW8573W • C • E 10:04, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
- It's only working intermittently now... none of the special pages load, and other stuff only sometimes come up. -- ForestMonthZero (talk) 11:23, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

- It doesn't work on my home wiki now. The page even display a "create the article $1" (under Monobook, of course, that link doesn't exist on oasis) and when you click on it the page IS there! --Category:Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 19:36, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
