I performed a search online and found many articles that describe how to get this done. Basically...

  1. Go to Settings > Search Preferences
  2. Under Errors and redirections , Edit the Custom Page Not Found option
  3. Now provide the specific HTML in the textarea.

I dont think you have the option to actually redirect to another page for a page not found error. In any case, you dont need to if you follow the steps above. All you need is some HTML markup to customize the look and feel.
