The Wikiwand extension used to redirect Wikipedia links to the same page on Wikiwand (with improved style, customization and functionality). Since a couple of updates ago, it doesn't do this anymore. When searching, it loads the normal Wikipedia page and only shows the Wikiwand one when refreshing it. I don't exactly know when this stopped working, but it's probably been a couple of months.

Also, here's my search URLs for Wikipedia, which used to work fine:
URL: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s
Suggest URL: https://wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=%s

Does anyone else have this issue? And do you know how to fix it?

Thanks!

@ MoosMas why not just using wikiwand directly? This way you probably don't even need the extension:

URL: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/search?q=%S

Suggest Url (this seems fine) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=%s

@ Hadden89 I tried to use the Wikiwand search URL, but this doesn't automatically redirect you to the page you're looking for. When entering a search query using the following Wikipedia URL, it automatically opens the article you're looking for, instead of showing search results:
https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s

When searching with the Wikiwand search URL ( https://www.wikiwand.com/en/search?q=%S ), it shows a page with search results. I haven't been able to find a similar URL that goes directly to the article for Wikiwand. Do you know if there is such a URL for Wikiwand?

Update: The following search URL seems to be similar in functionality to the Wikipedia search URL: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/%S
I'll have to further test it to see if it actually works the same way and how it handles queries that don't exactly match page titles.

Update update: Of course this still doesn't fix the initial problem: that Wikiwand only redirects when refreshing a Wikipedia page. When going to a Wikipedia article through Google search for example, it still opens the original Wikipedia article. It only redirects to Wikiwand when refreshing.
