    Default Missing Page Check not working...

    Simple as that, I have it set to on, and I have old products coming up in Google searches which have been deleted and it always goes to a 404 page not found page, instead of redirecting back to the index as I have set it.

    Any ideas? Am i missing any files from my installation for this to work properly?

    I have my store in the root of my domain, not in a /catalog folder. Does this cause an issue?

    The "missing page check" specifically deals with missing *pages*, not with missing *products*.
    So, if someone enters an invalid main_page=xxxxx value, then the missing-page-check will fire and take action according to your admin setting.

    Unlikely.

    Given that the not-found page shows the customer some navigation options and tells them that the info they were looking for doesn't exist and that they may wish to navigate the site to locate an alternative, the present behavior was elected.
    Merely taking them to the home page without any indication as to "why", leaves the visitor confused. And, confused visitors are less likely to become customers than informed visitors are.
