SearchWP Redirects
SearchWP Redirects is a WordPress plugin by SearchWP that works as an extension inside SearchWP. It lets you match search keywords to a specific page or post, so a visitor who searches for that term goes directly there instead of seeing a list of results.

What it does
Site search often returns a long list of loosely related results when you already know exactly which page a visitor needs. If someone searches for a common term, such as the name of a service or a help topic, you may want them to land on one specific page. This plugin handles that by redirecting chosen search keywords to a page or post you select, so the visitor skips the results list and goes straight to the content you picked for that term.
The redirects are managed from a code-free interface within SearchWP, where you turn on the extension and add rules. Each rule ties a keyword to a destination, and you can choose exact or partial matching depending on how strict you want it to be. There is no limit on how many redirects you create. If your site uses more than one custom search engine, rules can be applied per engine, and you can import or export your redirect setup to move it between sites or keep a backup. Redirect statistics are also available.
Best for
- Sites already running SearchWP for their search
- Business sites routing common searches to service pages
- Help centers sending topic searches to key articles

Questions about SearchWP Redirects
Do I need SearchWP to use this plugin?
Yes. It works as an extension of SearchWP and is turned on from within the SearchWP interface, so your site needs SearchWP for the redirects to work.
What is the difference between exact and partial match?
An exact match rule only triggers when the search equals your keyword. A partial match rule triggers when the search contains your keyword, which catches a wider range of related queries. You pick the option for each redirect.
Can I set different redirects for different search forms?
If you use multiple custom search engines in SearchWP, you can apply unique redirect rules to each one. That lets you send the same keyword to different destinations depending on which part of the site the search comes from.
Can I copy my redirects to another site?
Yes. The plugin includes import and export for redirect configurations, so you can move your rules to another site, test them on a staging copy or keep a backup.
Is SearchWP Redirects free?
The code of SearchWP Redirects is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.

How do I update SearchWP Redirects?
