Hi,

Couldn't think of a more descriptive title but here is the problem;

1 - I enter a wrong url and get the 'search 404' generated page saying; 'The page you requested does not exist, etc etc'
2 - Then, instead of clicking enter the search for the pre entered terms I use the standard search form which is in the header of my theme
3 - Because 'search 404' redirects to the page form which you posted the form it returns to step 1 instead of searching for the terms I entered in the other search form

This also is the case for the 6.x version!
Is there any way to fix this?

Cheers

Hi Bartezz

Can you specify the configuration of the current Drupal for 5 and 6 and the modules that are active in your current system?

Thanks
Zyxware

Hi Zyxware,

Well I've disabled the module and kinda forgot about the whole thing till now.
So I went and did some testing again... I found out it's a drupal core search bug and not your module.
You can test it here on Drupal.org.

Go to a non-existing url;
http://www.drupal.org/zyxware

This will send you to a 'page not found' page.
Then on the same page use the search form (no matter the keywords) in the Drupal website header.
This won't bring you to the search result page as expected but it will ship your butt to that 'page not found' page again.

I find this weird behaviour as I expect visitors to use the search option as sson as they hit a 'page not found' page.

What is your opinion on this?

Cheers

Hello Bartezz

Definitely this is an issue, I agree with your point that the search should begin as they hit a 'page not found', I am surprised that the main drupal.org site has this issue. I will keep a watch on the that thread you posted.

So if you dont mind I am putting this bug to Won't Fix => Closed.

Regards
Zyxware
