If you’re getting this error:

“Can’t find FULLTEXT index matching the column list for query”

You need to build a fulltext index, like this:

ALTER TABLE `wp_posts` ADD FULLTEXT (
`post_name` ,
`post_content`
)

@Falcon

I’m going to be releasing a nice upgrade for this plugin sometime in the 2 weeks. It really is an incredibly helpful plugin, but I need to make it easier for people to use. :)

The AskApache Google 404 v4.4 plugin does not seem to work in Wordpress 2.6. The plugin’s options are still there and so is preview of search output, but none of that output is ever displayed on the 404 error page.

This plugin was working great but has suddeny; become odd! I’ve tried deleting it completly and re-installing it but the following happens…

if i type /prince-discography/tester - the plug in works
but if i type in /tester - the plug in ignores the 404 error and seems to just show latest posts

any help welcome :)

AA 404 is very really great - for some reason deleted post id’s dont go to the 404 page (at least not with K2) i.e. go to my site in my sig (go there first) then add /?p=247 - its “just not found” - this is not only no good for the user / there is no handling of the metadata - google webmaster tools is crying about duplicate meta descriptions for any pages like this - meh

Man this is an amazing plugin :)
nice work around .. will simply increase the page visits by people who just keep stumbling upon 404 pages ..

I am wondering if this plugin can be used to create a site map

ie. instead of showing a site map written in php.. if google search results can be presented it will be wonderful
