Currently the wiki searcher just does a request to http://url/{QUERY} and returns true if the page is found. This means it can handle redirects, but the text of the query must match exactly the page name (or a redirect to it). In many cases wikis have redirects from all-lowercase but if the page does not, lookup can fail.

Some wikis (wikias in particular) have a "Do you mean: " which could be used, but non-wikias don't seem to have this feature, so it can't be relied on.

Maybe we can do an API query instead (searches seem to be case-insensitive).
