I've deleted products. How do I redirect customers to new ones? or to search instead?

7thVeil, I have edited your code and have some other relevant information and technique regarding this issue here http://pro-webs.net/blog/2010/03/21/...tock-products/

I have always forced a permanent redirect by hand (ultimate control), but I certainly understand the need for a more large scale dynamic solution. So I edited your code to achieve this.

Cheers,

Hi Melanie, the redirection example you gave:

redirect 301 /index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=38 http://www.domain.com/

is not working on my site. I put it in the .htaccess file in the root but when I go to the product page it simply does not redirect. Do you have any idea why? I am not using any URL rewrite modules.
