Description

When a user lands on a plugin that is non-existent (could have been removed, or it could have never existed) we should turn the slug in the url into a search and try and get the user headed in the right direction.

Add 404 redirect to search

  • Keywords has-patch dev-feedback added

This patch redirects 404s to search using what would be the "plugin slug" as the search term.

I also included a fix for the https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ which was redirecting to the "search" plugin (or a 404 when logged out) rather than running a search because the search term was empty.

Some examples I used for testing:

Seems to work correctly for both admin and non-admin users.
