[Plugin: Smart 404] Brilliant idea, terrible implementation

Do you mean you would like to use this plugin in the same way as Drupal’s search404 module, meaning it would only search and never automatically redirect? If, then I agree, it might come handy to have an option for that on the settings page in case of a nasty redirection mistake.

i too would like to have the option for returning all matches rather than redirecting to just the 1st match…

i also have an issue with smart404 ignoring 404s if permalinks aren’t set to custom “/pages/%postname%/”

wtf??? compare my production website https://cavitronix.com/thisisa404
with my dev.site https://toms.homeunix.net:28080/cavitronix.com/thisisa404/ (with the default permalinks)

re: returning all matches rather than redirecting to just the 1st match…

i’ve coded a fix, adding a config. that allows redirect to 1st match found(the current behavior) otherwise show all matches…i’ve put it up @ https://wibles.webhop.net/toms/stuff/smart404_php.txt
