I have a use case where I rather would show a real 404 page (and return code) instead of showing the search page.

I deleted some subpages, but still get a lot requests for them from bots. So I rather would show them a 404 instead of searching for something that isn't there...

So I thing of such a box of exceptions like they are configurable whether you use a wysiwyg editor or not for some pages..

Issue summary: View changes

The possibility to add exceptions to Search404's normal behavior would be a great addition to the module.

Displaying a 404 page or allowing redirection to a specific page. I can't get the redirect module and search404 working correctly simultaneously.

So, is it ok to include a configuration for an exclustion list where the path is not handled by search404?

@anish_zyxware Yes, this would solve our issues - and will help us better handle edge cases.
