/search/ reported error in google webmaster

Hi,

Google Webmaster reports this error /search/ point to a page not found…

It could also redirect /search/ to another page, but in terms of seo even this does not seem a good idea.

What other solution to eliminate it in the page code?

var td_ad_background_click_link=””;
var td_ad_background_click_target=””;
var td_ajax_url=”http://www.bintmusic.it/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php”;
var td_get_template_directory_uri=”http://www.bintmusic.it/wp-content/themes/Newspaper”;
var tds_snap_menu=””;
var tds_header_style=””;
var tds_mobile_swipe=””;
var td_search_url=”http://www.bintmusic.it/search/”;

Thanks

Basic issue with WordPress – not theme related.
You can Google the issue; some people make a “search” page with 404 template.

Basically there isn’t anything on site that should be linking to yoursite.xyz/search/

but hackers try to ping that location, and will generate the error in webmaster tools. Old known issue with WP.

Technically searches are done via
yoursite.com/search?query
(http://www.bintmusic.it/?s=mountain+bike)

so http://www.bintmusic.it/search/
will generate a 404 error since there is no page with that name or an index file in any folder by that name.

You can generally ignore that in your webmaster tools if there is just one of those and “mark fixed.”

If you are getting them constantly, then check your logs to see WHO is pinging that location and block their IP.

It’s possible that the search box, which starts with blank element
yoursite.com/search#

might somehow translate into a 404 — but that doesn’t show up in your XML sitemap, and Google is smart enough not to follow that deadlink in the search box (placeholder) — if they did you’d have hundreds of 404 errors per month.

Sorry if I’m rambling.
Generally it’s nothing to worry about.

Thanks Chris, sorry for the delay in the response ..

I tried to delete / search / from google webmaster,
we’ll see if it continues to report it as an error

have a nice day

Hi,
