Missing Kids on Your 404 Page

The idea is quite simple. People land up on 404 pages all the time. 404 pages are pages that have either gone missing, or were never there to begin with. 404 is the HTTP error code for a missing resource. Most 404 pages are quite bland, simply stating that the requested resource was not found, and that’s it. Back when I worked at NCST, I changed the default 404 page to use a local site search based on the requested URL. I used the namazu search engine since I was working on it at the time.
