Comments on: Microsoft gives error pages new direction

The Web's once common "page not found" errors are going missing, stripped from recent versions of Internet Explorer in favor of a search tool provided by Microsoft.

Search page on 'page not found' - Nothing new

Add-ins and adware have been doing it for years. I can't say off the top off my head and I clear it off with an adware remover (Spybot). I typically wan't the URL to stay put so I can check the spelling, make corrections, truncate the bad link or ask Google for a cached copy of a page removed. Redirection by browser, server or add-in due to HTTP errors are really frustrating and not friendly to this user.
How do you force a reload when you know the problem is temporary.
