The Standard demo has a neat feature you could modify.  See the
"SpecialSub missing ncheck_category" and associated "Sub ncheck_category"
configuration.

If the requested SKU is not found then the "missing" SpecialSub kicks in,
if defined.  That subroutine can do whatever you need.  In the demo,
it initiates a search if the requested name starts with a capital letter.

You could get it to check the products table for the requested value,
in a unique-indexed column, and then call a flypage as if the SKU was
requested directly.  Perhaps even fall-back to a search if no result
was found.
