Change "new" to "search" for Readers

NOTE: This was a post on the old PBWiki forums which I'm reviving ... Vu had indicated he might take a look at it, which would be great! http://forums.pbwiki.com/viewtopic.ph... is the previous URL.

Essentially, here is my request:

For anyone who is only a reader, if they send in a URL for a page that is nonexistent (e.g. “[wiki_url]/Capital”), PBWiki currently assumes they are trying to create a new page and transforms the URL into “[wiki_url]/newpage.php?page_name=Capital”. And of course because they are only a reader they do not have permission & so they get a Permission Denied page.

But what I need is for it to transform the “[wiki_url]/Capital” URL into “[wiki_url]/FindPage?SearchFor=Capital".

The reason? We have implemented a glossary using PBWiki, and sometimes terms don't quite match, but you can usually find the one you're looking for in a search. A search page makes much more sense than Permission Denied, which is discouraging for the users, they don't know where to go from there.

So I'm reporting as a problem, because for us this is really hurting the usability of our Wiki.
