Comment (by haukep):

 I stumbled upon this feature request while researching a solution for the
 issue outlined here: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/144937
 /disable-only-url-auto-complete-not-the-whole-canonical-url-system

 Replying to [comment:2 nacin]:
 > Whipped this up not long ago, as a workaround:
 > {{{
 > function remove_redirect_guess_404_permalink( $redirect_url ) {
 >     if ( is_404() )
 >         return false;
 >     return $redirect_url;
 > }
 > add_filter( 'redirect_canonical', 'remove_redirect_guess_404_permalink'
 );
 > }}}

 So for all people eagerly waiting for better control over how the redirect
 guess is performed, I took nacin's code above and turned it into a small
 plugin. The plugin still waits for its review but should hopefully be
 available here at some point: https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-url-
 autocorrect-guessing/
