Answer 1

There is no module available AFAIK – at least not for 1.6. But it is quite easy to do by yourself. You can use the solution in the joomla documentation. This is usable for any error code.

http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_Custom_404_Error_Page

if (($this->error->code) == ‘404’) {
header(‘Location: /search’);
exit;
}

The part behind the Location: is where you redirect to the page you want. e.g. /search in this case. The above is for 1.5, for 1.6 you need to use this:

if ($this->error->getCode() == ‘404’) {
header(‘Location: /search’);
exit;
} ;
