Weird -- and I even added <!-- remove --> in a comment on that page and
it didn't help.

When I add the "List Redirects" option in advanced search I do find
the referring page but that doesn't help the real issue.
And MediaWiki help says [2]
"Even if you enclose a phrase in quotes, the search looks for each
word individually. e.g., if you enter "world war 2" it will return
pages that contain "world" and "war" and "2".
But that implies that remove+fedora should list pages with BOTH before
pages with one or the other.
Maybe it is. There are over 500 hits and the [How to uninstall
Fedora] page is the last one listed. (show 500 then next 500 and
scroll to the bottom).
1. What is the display order of pages found and can we control it? I
don't really see a pattern to the date listed - which looks like last
modified. Maybe it is sorting by creation date? I only looked at a
couple of samples.
2. A lot of those 500-1000 pages are meeting and EOL pages that can
be moved out of the main namespace - so we are back to more cleanup
needs.
