The following link is broken, although it is returned from search within Magnolia documentation: http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/technical-guide/virtual-uri-mapping.html Only results in ugly default Tomcat 404 page for me. |

The page was moved to http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/templates/uri-mapping.html. Google has not reindexed the new location yet so the custom search engine will return the old location. |

Maybe you should add some VirtualURIMapping with a permanent redirect for the old URL when you move a page? People will also have it in their bookmarks, and be disappointed... |

Added a virtual URI. There should really be a more adaptive fallback option. For example, a 404 page that runs a search with the old page name and suggests alternatives. "URI mapping? Perhaps you are looking for one of these pages." That would be cool. Sites evolve and pages move. Breaking external links on the forum and in bookmarks is unavoidable unless every move is dutifully followed by a new virtual URI mapping. |

When moving an activated page, Magnolia could ask whether a VirtualURIMapping with permanent redirect should automatically be added to keep the old URL working |
