- a first interface to a user navigation interface;
a second interface to a cached content store; and
a control engine, the control engine communicating with the first interface to detect an access failure via the user navigation interface and with the second interface, the control engine redirecting stored content retrieved via the cached content store to the user upon the detected access failure.

Abstract
A system and related techniques monitor a user'"'"'s attempt to access a Web site or other network site, and detect failed access attempts such as HTTP 404 messages or others. Rather than pass the access failure message directly through to the user, the system may communicate with a search service or other index of stored or cached Web pages or other content images. The user may be given a choice via a dialogue to view a stored version of the site they were attempting to access, so that some or all of the desired information may still be accessed. In embodiments, the user may be directed to differing sources of the identical or similar desired content, via a priority stack. If further embodiments, the operator of the Web site or other content source may choose to apply a cached content override to opt out of making stored content available to searchers or other users, for example for digital rights management purposes.
