Basically, when any route is not found then by default Magento redirects to the 404 pages. But as we know the characteristics of Magento it allows customization and Magento 2 merchants can add their custom noRoute handler. Like the 404 pages as a no-route page, you can redirect it to a search page.

Steps to Redirect 404🚫 Page Found To Search Page🔎:

Step 1: Firstly, you will require to add di.xml in the below-given path:

app\code\Vendor\Extension\etc\frontend\di.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <type name="Magento\Framework\App\Router\NoRouteHandlerList">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="handlerClassesList" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="extension" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="class" xsi:type="string">Vendor\Extension\App\Router\NoRouteHandler</item>
                    <item name="sortOrder" xsi:type="string">80</item>
                </item>
            </argument>
        </arguments>
    </type>
</config>

Step 2: After that, you will require to add the NoRouteHandler.php file in the below-given path:

app\code\Vendor\Extension\App\Router\NoRouteHandler.php

<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\App\Router;
class NoRouteHandler implements \Magento\Framework\App\Router\NoRouteHandlerInterface
{
    public function process(\Magento\Framework\App\RequestInterface $request)
    {
        $requestValue = ltrim($request->getPathInfo(), '/');
        $request->setParam('q', $requestValue);
        $request->setModuleName('catalogsearch')->setControllerName('result')->setActionName('index');
        return true;
    }
}
