This is not the first time that this blog was requested for incorrect URLs:

Someone kindly shared my post about pipes.sh, unfortunately, there is a stinking closing parenthesis ()) attached to the end of URL, which causes the 404 error. Lucky for me, I was aware of any 404 errors.

But the problem is whoever visited through the incorrect link might just close the tab and never got to see the post they were originally sent to. I had been wanting to resolve this kind of situation, so visitors would have chance to get to the post.

I implemented very simple workaround, now the page would give you a search link, which is generated off the incorrect link:
