If a customer searches my site for a particular product model number (e.g. PJ HD5451) but I do not carry that particular model number, or I carry a similar one, it is possible to display close matching alternatives?

For example, PJ HD5451 is a discontinued model...but the PJ HD6452 is the replacement. It would be better to show the customer the page for PJ HD6452 instead of saying "no results found" and then they leave the site...

Is this possible with AbanteCart, or with an extension?

a suggestion until a new solution becomes available.
have you thought about altering the product page of the discontinued item - saying it is discontinued  and changing your description with a link to the similar product??

Or perhaps  use a blurb -  with that info also?
