SearchWP Redirects 1.6.0
SearchWP Redirects is a WordPress plugin that automatically redirects visitors to a chosen page when specific searches are performed, saving them clicks. It improves user experience with flexible controls for query strings, partial matches, engines, and destination URLs, making navigation smoother and more relevant.
Description
SearchWP Redirects is a WordPress plugin built to work alongside SearchWP. It automatically sends visitors to a page you choose when they perform specific searches, reducing the number of clicks needed to reach what they want. Instead of sending users to generic results, it helps you guide intent with controlled redirects that match your site’s content and navigation flow.
After installing and activating the standalone plugin, you’ll find redirect settings inside SearchWP under Extensions > Redirects. With flexible options for query strings, partial matching, applicable search engines, and destination URLs, you can set up targeted behavior that improves usability and keeps users moving through your site.
Main Features
- Automatic search-triggered redirects — Sends visitors to a selected destination page when defined search terms are used.
- Configurable query string rules — Lets you specify which searches should trigger a redirect.
- Partial match support — Optionally redirects based on partial matches, not just exact queries.
- Engine-specific targeting — Applies redirects to chosen SearchWP search engine(s).
- Custom destination URLs — Directs users to a specific page of your choosing.
- Integrated SearchWP settings — Adds an Extensions > Redirects screen for managing rules in the same workflow as SearchWP.
