Comment:

 Core function `redirect_canonical()`, which invokes basic redirects,
 explicitly states:

 > Prevents redirection for feeds, trackbacks, searches, and admin URLs.
 Does not redirect on non-pretty-permalink-supporting IIS 7+, page/post
 previews, WP admin, Trackbacks, robots.txt, searches, or on POST requests.

 The function contains this very early:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 // ...code
 if ( is_trackback() || is_search() || is_admin() || is_preview() ||
 is_robots() || ( $is_IIS && !iis7_supports_permalinks() ) ) {
         return;
 }
 // code...
 }}}


 As for why I do not know, maybe it caused a regression?
 I do want to see this enhancement, especially since `/search/` currently
 does work as intended.
