Hi all,

Some time ago, I set up a keyword bookmark 
(https://www-archive.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html 
<https://www-archive.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html>) to search in 
tickets and MRs, by using a Google "site:gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/ 
<http://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/> %s" query. About a year ago, I 
noticed that the quality of results decreased to the point of uselessness, and 
I started to use GitLab's built-in search. This works fine, but it's not as 
good as Google's. Today, I discovered why the quality went down: GitLab changed 
its URLs. Previously, a ticket lived at e.g. 
gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/1234 
<http://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/1234>. Today, it lives at 
gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/1234 
<http://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/1234>. GitLab automatically 
redirects from the former to the latter, so old links/bookmarks still work 
great. But Google's search doesn't! The solution was easy: just update my 
keyword bookmarks to include the extra /-. Better search results, cooked up 
fresh. Perhaps you want some, too -- hence this email.

Enjoy,
Richard
