General Options -> Behavior

These settings control what happens when the user clicks the search bar magnifier icon or hits the enter key on the keyboard.

Redirection

These option will allow you to either:

• Redirect when clicking on search icon

• Redirect when hitting the return key

It is possible to redirect either to the default

• Results page or WooCommerce results page

• First Matching result

• Custom URL

Redirection to custom URL

The default value should work with all themes though.

The {phrase} variable is always replaced with the actual search phrase.

This is also a great option to add additional parameters to the redirection. For example if you want to redirect to the WooCommerce product results page, you should change it to "?s={phrase}&post_type=product" like so:
