  A few months ago I deleted a large number of posts from my blog, put people are still being referred to those posts via search engines, and thus getting the “what you’re looking for no longer exists” page. Is this a search engine issue, or is there something I can do about it?

  Not really. It takes Google up to between 3-4 months to clear their caches.
