  2. Select Lookup.
  3. Review every matching code and status name.

Searching “redirect” is not the same as searching 301

A numeric query such as 404 directly finds 404 Not Found. A word query can match status names when that word is present in the built-in list.

The built-in table contains common codes, not every registered or vendor-specific HTTP status code. Absence from the result does not prove that a code is invalid.

The lookup covers a built-in list of common status codes

It is a quick reference for widely used HTTP codes, not a complete registry of every standardized or vendor-specific code.

Code matching is substring-based

A query is checked against the textual code as well as the lowercase status name.

Status names are labels, not troubleshooting explanations

Finding 429 Too Many Requests tells you the code name; it does not inspect your server response headers, retry policy or rate-limit configuration.

The same status code can have different practical causes

A status name tells you what the response category means, but diagnosing the cause still depends on the server, API, proxy or application that returned it.
