Enable Redirect from 404 to Search Results - The feature redirects customers to a search result page instead of 404 page not found.

Add Link Rel=“next/prev” - To improve indexing, links that are components to the series will be grouped. Users will receive the most relevant URL's (the first page of the series: e.g. example.com/extensions.html instead of example.com/extensions.html?p=1).

NOINDEX
To prevent search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) from needlessly indexing Magento catalog search results page(s) and advanced search results page(s) we added the code to app/design/frontend/YOUR_PACKAGE/YOUR_THEME/layout/local.xml.
- If this file does not yet exist in your custom theme you can create it and Magento will automatically include it.
- If this file already exists in your custom theme then copy everything except the first line XML declaration and elements into your copy of local.xml.
