It would be a useful addition if the "Address Not Found" page could offer the option to use the stuff you typed into the location bar as input for your designated search engine, and/or perform history search on those terms. (For me, the former is the more useful, but I expect both would be handy, and the effort to offer both is probably marginal if you decide to do one or the other.) All to often, what you typed in is no longer visible in the location bar, because http:// gets prepended and sometimes a .com appended to what is displayed in the location bar at the point you get the "Address Not Found" error.
