Question

I am working on my Page not found 404 template. For some reason my conditional doesn’t seem to work right:

What I am trying to achieve is to break down the path and search for each expression.
I remove – and _ from the expression.

$s = preg_replace("/(.*)-(html|htm|php|asp|aspx)$/","$1",$wp_query->query_vars['name']);
            $posts = query_posts('post_type=any&name='.$s);
            $s = str_replace("-"," ",$s);
            $s = str_replace("_"," ",$s);
            if (count($posts) == 0) {
                $posts = query_posts('post_type=any&s='.$s);
            }
            if (count($posts) > 0) {
                echo "<ol><li>";
                echo "<p>Were you looking for <strong>one of the following</strong> posts or pages?</p>";               
                echo "<ul>";
                foreach ($posts as $post) {
                    echo '<li><a href="'.get_permalink($post->ID).'">'.$post->post_title.'</a></li>';
                }
                echo "</ul>";
}

If I type “products_s”

It says:

in Let me help you find what you came here for: Were you looking for
one of the following posts or pages?
Products

So It finds products, which is great.

But if i type in “products_services”

Even though I am expecting to get products and services pages listed as above, it doesn’t finds anything.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

I have never used wordpress but I do notice you change the queryposts()

In the first check you do:

$posts = query_posts('post_type=any&name='.$s); //notice &name=

In the second check you do:

$posts = query_posts('post_type=any&s='.$s); // notice &s=

It all depends what is happening inside of queryposts(). Personally I would just pass the string through with ‘_’ ‘-‘ and explode('-',$string) on the other side to split them into an array.
