Not quite. That form generates an url to archives.postgresql.org - so
what you pasted above clearly is the redirected version.
I noticed that this one is different from the one Josh Kupershmidt
reported (that one was for msgtxt.php), so if your custom for was the
only case where this one was actually hit, I'm not sure it's worth
fixing, since you can easily fix it per below.
Have you or anybody else seen this URL pattern in links that are
actually stored anywhere?

If you input any messageid in the general search box, it will do the
right thing transparently now. So you can just put
http://www.postgresql.org/search/ as your target for the search.
