Redirected pages not showing in topic list

[cerebrate]

I'm using the tag plugin along with the page redirect plugin ( https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:pageredirect ), but while pages containing a redirect show up in the full index, they don't show up in the listing produced by {{topic}}, even when tagged:

====== alternate name ======

#REDIRECT real-name

{{tag>this-pages-category}}

I'm not sure what the interaction is, here - I'm raising the issue here because I would have expected the tag plugin to be indifferent to other markup on the tagged page - but whether it qualifies as a bug or a feature request, it would be useful if there were a way to make them be included.

I suspect that this is because these pages aren't properly indexed due to the redirect. Do they appear when you search for the text in them using the regular search feature?

You could try the searchindex plugin to re-index all pages including those with the redirect.

That plugin has itself also an workaround for this, if I interpret it right.

If that indexing should be solved, then I think the pageredirect plugin should do that? Therefore, no changes needed in the tag plugin?

Unfortunately, the pages do seem to be indexed correctly: the redirect pages are found by search, and show up in the index created by appending doku.php?do=index to the DokuWiki URL, or on index pages using the nsindex or nspages plugins. It's only the {{topic}} lists that I've found so far not to show them.

do=index doesn't use the index, but search uses it, that's why I asked about the search. Could you try searching explicitly for the tag syntax/the words in it (the search is based on words), just to be sure that a version of the page with the tag syntax has been indexed?

From a short look at the plugin, there should be nothing special about pages using it. I'm suspecting that indexing might not work correctly because if the page redirects to another page, indexing of the page isn't triggered as it would be by viewing the page. You could also try viewing the affected page without redirect to trigger its indexing.

I haven't tried reproducing the issue which would be the next step to confirm this issue.

Just tried that: if I search for the tag specifically (whole syntax or just the tag words), the page does show up in the results, yes.
