Summary: "Go" result should be available through the API
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All

Severity: enhancement

There should be a way in the API to tell which page you'll be redirected to
when you type a certain string in the search box and click "Go". It's possible
to get this by requesting
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=something&go=Go
and getting the target of the resulting HTTP 302, but this'll return an HTTP
200 with search results when there is no title match for 'something' and this
is hacky. The API should have some way of requesting this so it'll be cleaner
and not run a full-blown search with the associated bandwidth usage if there is
no title match.
