Description
It's obvious that the interface needs some reworking/rewriting. It would be nice to change the admin/build/redirects interface into something more like the admin/build/path or admin/content/node.
Some issues that I'm merging into this thread for concentration:
#267256: Merge admin pages
#260723: maybe improved ui for the admin
#300435: Modifies to the administration page
#240565: Redirect table overflows into the sidebar/theme
#365242: Add a filter to admin/build/redirect
The primary problems right now are that the table becomes too long and extends into the theme/right sidebar.

I'd like to add a reference to this ticket I just created here too:
#429310: Filter option like in admin/build/path
#2
I'd like to add that the text under the From text field be a bit more generic. On first reading, I took away that one needed an internal Drupal path to exist in order to provide a redirect. Since we're migrating a site from static/dynamic pages to the Drupal system, I was unclear whether we could use this module for all redirects that now exist on our current site.
"Enter an interal Drupal path or path alias to redirect (e.g. node/123 or taxonomy/term/123). Fragment anchors (e.g. #anchor) are not allowed."
This line could be changed to "Enter any path in your current path structure, an internal Drupal path or path alias...(e.g. /index.html, node/123..."
I had to have a colleague explain that you could input anything as a From path which could be redirected to a Drupal path, path alias, etc. I guess it seems obvious, but I was a bit slow on the uptake thinking we had to add all of our rules in the .htaccess file.
