Hey,

Hadn't started a new page before, but now I have and it's being a little odd when I search it. It comes up top of the list, but the link goes to the page history rather than the main article. The article is: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HarryPotterComics

And the search I'm doing is for Harry Potter Comics.

Maybe this is just normal because of frequent edits? I have no idea.

If it's a new page, it may just be taking some time for Google to index. Actually, it's the fourth hit when I query "Harry Potter Comics", including the quotes, while the history page is the first. Add more wicks and it should move up the ranks.

I was doing a site search for a misspelled word, and Google keeps presenting some useless results.

  • ) Site Search should never return UR Ls ending with "?action=source".
  • ) Site Search should never return UR Ls starting with "tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=".

Is there any way of adding a post-search filter to remove those?
