Hide results and got matching post

  • Is it possible to hide the search results altogether and redirect to the most relevant result post?

    Yes. This should do the trick:

    add_action( 'template_redirect', function() {
    if ( is_search() ) {
        global $wp_query;
        if ( $wp_query->post_count > 0 ) {
            wp_redirect( get_permalink( $wp_query->posts['0']->ID ) );
            exit();
        }
    }
} );

    This checks if it’s a search, then if there’s at least one result found, the function will automatically redirect the user to the first result.
