Is it possible to have any missing pages(404's) redirected to the search(omega) ?  
So if someone comes to my site with http://example.com/foo_was_here it would result in 'foo_was_here' being passed as a search parameter to omega ?  --[Mick](http://www.lunix.com.au)  

##DONE  

I use nginx instead of apache.   
Just add the following to the `server` block outside of any location block in nginx.conf  
You must also make sure you have setup and enabled the search plugin(omega)

    error_page  404              /ikiwiki.cgi?P=$uri;


My full nginx.conf  

    server {
            listen  [::]:80; #IPv6 capable
            server_name  www.lunix.com.au;
            access_log  /var/log/nginx/www.lunix.com.au-access.log  main;
            error_log  /var/log/nginx/www.lunix.com.au-error.log warn;
            error_page  404              /ikiwiki.cgi?P=$uri;
   
    location / {
                    root    /home/lunix/public_html/lunix;
                    index  index.html index.htm;
    }
   
    location ~ ikiwiki\.cgi$ {
                    root    /home/lunix/public_html/lunix;
                    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params.cgi;
    
                    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9999;
                    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /home/lunix/public_html/lunix$fastcgi_script_name;  # same path as above
            }
    }
