Description
After authors are merged, the redirect records still sometimes (always?) appear in author search. A forced re-index of the author id fixes the problem.
### Relevant url?
eg https://openlibrary.org/search/authors?q=alcott&mode=everything -- Note https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL9635536A is still visible despite being a redirect.
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Merge some authors
2. Perform a search that should show the authors
* Actual: The redirect author is still there
* Expected: The redirect author should have disappeared
