I installed my XOOPS site under www.mysite.com/xoops/ directory. When I was installing Xoops, I had in mind of having another main non-Xoops site on the root directory. But later on, I decided not to have the main site. So for past year, I had index.htm in the main directory that uses <meta> redirect to send the users to www.mysite.com/xoops/, which sends the user to www.mysite.com/xoops/modules/news/.

So there are two redirections involved coming to the site. When I do search for my site on google, the result shows only www.mysite.com without the /xoops. So I was wondering if I move the XOOPS to the root directory, if it would increase the chance of my site being returned higher in the search results.

Also, when I give out the site to other people, I always use www.mysite.com. Should I move the XOOPS to the root directory?

You don't Need to move your site to a different folder but I think it would be a good move. If you don't want to move it then you could have a page that forwards using javascript with a regular link on the page as well. Google will crawl that. OR... I just thought of this. If you have access to httpd.conf you can just change the site folder that apache points to with a virtual map... or maybe not.
