Redirect Maps for wildcards not working

Question

I am mapping old Urls to new Urls using Sitecore 9.0 with SXA 1.5 - Redirect Map following this document:

https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_accelerator/16/working_with_content/search/map_a_url_redirect

It works for direct Urls but when I do a wild-card, I get a resource unavailable.

For example, I map /Destinations/Paris to /Paris the redirect works.

But when I do the same with wild card like

OLD	NEW
/Destinations/(.+)	/Paris
/Destinations/(.+)	$1
^/Destinations/(.+)	/Paris

They are not working. Any pointers appreciated.

Answer 1

I believe there is some logic in SXA to ensure that the text is actually a regular expression.

It should start with ^ and end with $.

Try this format:

^/careers/job-opportunities(/.*)?$

You can refer this article for token implementation of redirect map using regex. https://sitecoretroubleshooting.blogspot.com/2023/08/redirection-in-sxa.html
