Instantly display a single search result.

Solo

You know when you search for something on a site and it finds just one result? You then have to click into it to display it. That&#8217;s annoying. It&#8217;s also adding an extra page load which is not necessary.
And what about if you search for an exact match for a title and, well, it serves it up along with a number of other possible results. Hey, why didn&#8217;t you just show me the one that I typed the name of in exactly? Well, you can do that too. Cool, eh?
This plugin simply removes this middle step &#8211; if your search returns one result or you type in the name of a title, it will be shown in all its post/page (delete as appropriate) glory. As well as a quicker answer for your visitor, removing this improves your site&#8217;s sustainability (okay, just a little&#8230; but every little helps, right?).
The code also passes WordPress and WordPress VIP coding standards. Because you&#8217;re worth it.
