We know that enter­pris­ing libraries such as The Uni­ver­sity of Cal­gary, McMas­ter Uni­ver­sity, Topeka Shawnee County Pub­lic Library, and Bay­lor Uni­ver­sity have imple­mented Mee­boMe wid­gets at the dead ends of their cat­a­logs. I’m won­der­ing if any libraries have gone fur­ther to add this type of func­tion­al­ity to the “sorry, no search results” pages in the data­bases they pay for or on the 404 error pages on their web­sites, blogs, etc.?

The lat­ter could be under our con­trol (for many libraries, not all), but is there even a ven­dor out there that lets libraries cus­tomize the dead end mes­sages? If you know of one, please let me know in the comments!
