Useful 404 not found page | Extension for Opencart

Redirect users to the search page instead of 404 not found page.

Features

When customers enter a wrong url, for example using old product name: www.example.com/product_old_name instead of www.example.com/product redirects the user to the search page instead of showing 404 error page with the search=product_old_name search query.

Example

Assume correct URL is www.example.com/iphone_red however the customer enters www.example.com/iphone

• Instead of showing 404 not found, this extension will redirect the user to the search page: www.example.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=iphone the customer will find the iphone_red product as well as other related products.

• Instead of showing a 404 page, it shows you all the products on your website that have the word iphone in them.
