What problems would this solve? =============================== Make 404 less frustrating and more useful This would also make MDN more robust in case wiki redirect break temporarily, etc. Who would use this? =================== Everyone, especially those coming from a broken links. What would users see? ===================== Instead of the current 404, users would also see a search based on the URL. For instance, if users arrived with https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/arry-javascript the 404 page would display a search for "arry javascript". Maybe it won't help, maybe it will, but it's a net improvement over the current 404 experience. What would users do? What would happen as a result? =================================================== - Is there anything else we should know? ======================================
