Add this snippet to your functions.php
function redirect_the_single_post() {
if (is_search() && is_main_query()) {
global $wp_query;
if ($wp_query->post_count == 1 && $wp_query->max_num_pages == 1) {
wp_redirect( get_permalink( $wp_query->posts['0']->ID ) );
exit;
}
}
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'redirect_the_single_post' );
hope this will help you!!

5+1 for this. You could/should, however, also check if this is the main query, so I would change the first line to this:
if (is_search() && is_main_query()) {. And the permalink can also be generated from$GLOBALS['post']->ID- but that is not so much shorter. ;) But it is about retrieving a property of an element of an array. Your code is about retrieving a property of an element of an array, which is a property of another object.– tfrommenOct 30, 2013 at 7:47 -
1@AbhishekKaushik, take the point and add it to the Answer. People will be copy/pasting your snippet for years to come, better improve it, no? ;) Oct 30, 2013 at 8:51
