Hi Joe. Could you add the following codes for search-results?

404 Not Found for no result found

410 Gone for outdated search-ID

When a distinction is not possible then the 410 code should be presented.

Thx

Updated to version 1.1. I wasn't able to determine whether it was no results found or outdated id however, so I added a new setting that will be the response code for any search.php errors. The default response for this is now 410.

I also added code that will prevent the mod from breaking your site if you install it on PHP 5.4+ but later you or your web host downgrade back to PHP 5.3. (Which happened to me.)

This was a minor code change so I believe it worked but I was unable to test it- if someone could test and confirm it works I'd appreciate it.

Thx Joe. The question came from a member of vb-germany.org who wanted a 404 status code for search. And your mod was the closest. And now it fits perfectly. ;)

Thanks. I would like to add however the better way would be for search.php to be off limits via a robots.txt file so Google doesn't try to index search links at all.

This is a generic VB robots.txt file for a forum in the /forums/ directory of a website-

Code:

User-agent: *

Disallow: /forums/admincp/

Disallow: /forums/clientscript/

Those who have < PHP5.4 can add the following at the beginning of the error_generic plug-in and test it. This is a non standardized method, so it may or may not work.

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!function_exists('http_response_code'))

{

    function http_response_code($newcode = NULL)

    {

        static $code = 200;

        if($newcode !== NULL)

        {

            header('X-PHP-Response-Code: '.$newcode, true, $newcode);

            if(!headers_sent())

                $code = $newcode;

        }       

        return $code;

    }

}

Thanks to RolandCP for the hint.

I have 96 warnings from webmaster tools.

Not entirely sure how to deal with them and if this is the correct procedure but installed to see what happens.

Wow- I tested this on 3 forums (1 VB 3.8, 2 VB 4.x) and it worked fine on all 3. :up:

You should copy the code to the top of both plugins however.

Do you mind if I add the code to the plugin?
