Overview

404 To Search

404 To Search is a smart extension to redirect all 404 pages on a store to Magento built-in search form.
You can create custom templates to parse URL's query strings deleting keys label and passing to search form only values.

404 To Search is fully multi-store compatible and support custom models to specifiy what parts of URL or query string have to be passed to search form.
Directives can be concatenated each other and are processed after Magento built-in rewrite rules, allowing you to keep manage specific single URL redirects on your own.

Redirect engine is based and fully compatible with Magento engine, and is configured to give a standard 301 HTTP status code (Permanent Redirect) on all requests.

Great extension, but one question I love how it works, our customers don't get the 404 error page anymore but a perfect search result. Great.. There is one question i have. It sais that it will return 301 messages to google, right? But i still have loads of 404 errors (not found) for all my old url's on google webmaster help. March 19, 2013
Very handy extension but two annoying problems This is a very handy extension, but I found two annoying problems: 1. If your site's base URL is not set to the root of your domain, the base path is incorrectly included as a search term. ie. If you use 'www.mystuff.com/myshop/' instead of 'www.mystuff.com' as your site's URL, then 'myshop' will always be included as the first search term. 2. If the incoming URL contains '+' or other non-alphanumeric characters, these will be converted to underscores in the resulting search. ie. The 404 URL 'www.mystuff.com/myshop/some+product' would search using 'myshop some_product' and not the expected terms 'some product'. For those who are confident with modifying files on their site, below is the quick hack I used to solve both problems. File modified: app/code/community/IG/404ToSearch/controllers/IndexController.php ... $urlInfo = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] !== 'off' || $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443) { $urlBaseInfo = parse_url('{{secure_base_url}}'); } else { $urlBaseInfo = parse_url('{{base_url}}'); } $qs = $helper->getQueryString(preg_replace('/\_/', ' ', substr($urlInfo['path'], strlen($urlBaseInfo), strlen($urlInfo['path']))), $_REQUEST); $queryHelper = Mage::helper('catalogsearch'); ...

Another great App, thanks October 3, 2012
Not so good.. Doesn't found any product because puts together words in the link or doesn't remove the underscore from search query so made your choice.. September 16, 2012
This is great extension! September 14, 2012
The extension's menu has an option that says "Search Template" and I suppose this is to tell the search which parts of the URL have to be taken. What are the possible "templates"? Where can we find some examples? Really good extension indeed. August 17, 2012
Hi, great extension by the way. Just one issue I have noticed. In Magento 1.7 with the new HTML5 mobile template, the 404 to search extension completely removes the catalog categories. July 6, 2012
Works beautifully! Really nice addition to our site. Thanks May 18, 2012
This works very well.. but a little problem. If you do a search like this: http://www.domain.com.au/shop/index.php/testmagento It searches for: 'shop index php testmagento' instead of ot they keyword testmagento. How can I fix this? Thanks April 18, 2012
Great extension! Non 404 error page anymore! March 10, 2012
