That would work if the URL contained search, like http://www.abc.com/search/hello
But it’s not a good idea to let your users dictate your URLs like your example. The example would clash with any existing Pages that you have.

Can you please give me an introduction on how to set this up?
Much thanks for your reply
Add a rewrite rule that matches the “search” URL element and passes the subsequent element as the value to the “s” query var.
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_rewrite_rule/
For example, if the request were example.info/search/foo/, the rewritten URL would then be example.info/index.php?s=foo You also need your search form to make such a request. A form could make the rewritten URL request (s=foo) on its own, but if you want a /search/foo/ sort of request, it’ll take some JavaScript to construct the URL and submit it instead of allowing the form default to work.
