As a follow on to my previous blog post around Searching - and the value of digging around those search logs - I wanted to highlight an additional search on returned pages - especially those pages that highlight a 404 or 4xx page! 404/4xx pages are synonymous with a failed or broken web experience.

Thanks to all of you that have emailed me regarding my post, I do enjoy the emails that I receive from around the world - and there were a number of questions posed that I decided to add as a supplement Blog post to the original post from yesterday...
