Description Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2003-07-08 01:06:46 UTC
Not sure if these is even possible (maybe some google hackery could work ?).

Anyway instead of showing a dialog when the user enters a bad url, it would
be really cool to show a list of other possible urls. For instance if a
user types: www.gnom.org and assuming that address doesn't exist, epiphany
could show a list of possible urls like

www.gnome.org
www.gnomes.org
www.gnome.com
www.gnom.com.

Anyway I know this is probably not possible right now at all, but i thought
it was a nice idea, maybe we can just file it under "FUTURE" :)

Internet Explorer for Windows, version 5.0 and later:

If a vendor-neutral way to implement it could be found, that would be 

fabulous darling.

The error msg for this should be in-page eventually anyway which will 
help with this.

Mass reassigning of Epiphany bugs to epiphany-maint@b.g.o
Comment 5 Reinout van Schouwen 2005-12-29 14:35:12 UTC
From 1.8 onward Epiphany has error pages when using a gecko 1.8 backend. The error page for a nonexisting domain does not yet suggest alternatives, so maybe that could still be implemented.
Comment 6 Reinout van Schouwen 2007-03-18 21:10:24 UTC
still valid.
