Redirects (link rewrites)

A redirect rewrites a result's link before you click it, so you land on the version of a site you prefer. The classic case sends every Reddit link to the old interface:

reddit.com → old.reddit.com

Redirects apply at link-render time. They are separate from ranking: a redirect never blocks, reorders, or pins a result — it only changes where the link points. A result whose link was rewritten carries a small redirected tag.

Host-swap redirects

The common case swaps one host for another and keeps the rest of the URL — path, query, and fragment — intact:

A domain redirect swaps that exact host (and www.); a domain-suffix redirect also covers subdomains. So a domain-suffix rule reddit.com → old.reddit.com rewrites www.reddit.com/r/... and other subdomain links, preserving the path each time.

Regex redirects

For anything more involved, use a URL-regex rewrite over the full URL, with $1, $2, … capture references in the replacement:

match:   ^https?://(?:www\.)?reddit\.com/(.*)$
replace: https://old.reddit.com/$1

Multiple redirects apply in order, each seeing the output of the previous one.

Safety

A redirect can only ever produce an absolute http(s) link. If a rule would yield anything else — or does not match — Neuji keeps the original link. A bad rule can never send you somewhere unexpected.

Managing redirects

Add and edit redirects under Settings → Search Control. Like every other rule, a redirect can be scoped to a vertical (web / images / news / video / shopping) and composes across your personal rules, active lenses, and one-shot bangs.
