I’d like to have ASP to take any search term used on the main search menu bar and redirect individuals to a ‘search’ page. Which set of options are needed to have this redirect work and automatically load the results? I see the redirect option but am not seeing how to get it to autoload the results on the search page.
Generally the plugin will redirect to the search results page by default. WordPress can only have one results page (results archive).
However you can still sort of use a “hack” to place the Ajax Search Pro results shortcode to a page and load up the results when the users are redirected to it. For that check this tutorial.
