2005-11-16 03:16:40 Matthew Paul Thomas description To present a search result instead a NotFound page for incomplete or miss-typed url looks like an interesting solution for Launchpad. The NotFound page is one of the most frustrating pages it provides. The results could be primarily context aware, i.e: https://launchpad.net/products/ubu -> returns results related with the "ubu" token within products https://launchpad.net/people/ste -> returns results related with the "ste" token within people It could also present launchpad-wide results if nothing or few related instance were found within the current context.

This approach was mentioned in bug 1160, and reported for products in particular as bug 1500.
