running Drupal 7.65.
Our previous website manager moved us from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 and cleaned up the file structure on our server.
While all the files that are now on our website have clean and organised URLs, and all general URLs on our website are now clean, Google still has indexed our old URLs.
e.g.:
old: domain.com/program-name
new: domain.com/programname
and
old: domain.com/sites/default/files/documents/owl-final-final3.pdf
new: domain.com/sites/default/files/folder1/folder2/owlguide.pdf
So if someone googles 'program name' or googles for our 'owl guide', the Google result takes them to the old URLs (broken links) rather than the new URLs.
Is there a way I can redirect these broken links to e.g. a search page on our website, rather than the "404 page not found" page?
For some of the old URLs to our pages (e.g. /program-name rather than /programname) I've been able to set up URL aliases to redirect people but don't know how I can do so for the files when there are so many that I wouldn't be able to work out.
Sorry if I haven't used the right words, I'm not a web developer! I looked into Pathologic but don't think it addresses the problem we're having...
