Redirecting to the first result of a search is a very unfriendly thing to do to your visitors and can quite possibly prevent them from ever finding the content they need, but it is very easy to do:

function redir_first_wpse_49208() {
  if (is_search()) {
    global $wp_query;
    if (!empty($wp_query->posts)) {
      wp_redirect( get_permalink( $wp_query->posts['0']->ID ) );
      exit;
    }
  }
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'redir_first_wpse_49208');

  • thank you very much and suggestion but i am using this where query have only one result. – Bilal Raj Dec 25 '15 at 18:19
  • I don't see how you can guarantee with any certainty that an ?s= search will only return a single result. – s_ha_dum Dec 25 '15 at 18:24
  • hmm....probability btw is it possible i can pass query as title to end result page – Bilal Raj Dec 25 '15 at 18:27
  • @birgire why you remove 'exit;' from above code ? – Bilal Raj Dec 25 '15 at 18:41
  • I'm adding the exit part not removing it. We need it after the wp_redirect() call. @BilalRaj – birgire Dec 25 '15 at 18:43
