[View Demo]

#### Free Features

 * Redirects directly to the category or tag or author archive pages from search
 * Can control whether to show which of the three archive page types to be shown
 * Works with Polylang plugin

> **Pro Features**
> All features from Free version included plus:
>  * Supports custom post types and custom taxonomy terms (e.g. shows the archive
>    page for Woocommerce products, product categories, brands, …etc.)
>  * Shows archive pages in search results : If redirecting directly to the search
>    result is not the optimal choice for your website (e.g. for websites using 
>    live search or just wanting to show other results on search), PRO version can
>    show the archive page as a result in search results.
>  * WPML Support: For a multilingual website working with WPML, redirect will not
>    work except for main language. PRO version handles compatibility with WPML 
>    and Polylang for the basic option of redirecting directly to archive page or
>    displaying the archive page in search results.
>  * Create custom queries for the archive page: If you want to display the soccer
>    category when the user searches for the word “football”, PRO version handles
>    this either through redirecting to soccer archive page or through showing “
>    soccer” archive page in search results. You can assign any word you want to
>    the term you like.
>  * Control the archive page to be in search: If you do not want an archive page
>    to appear from search, you can simply delete it from the options page.
>  * WooCommerce compatibility

Redirecting is working well with no effect on performance.
