<li>If there is only one search result, redirect to that post; and</li>
<li>Replaces search URL from /?s=query to /search/query.</li>
</ol>
<p>The plugin will offer more features in the future. If you have a suggestion? Use the plugin’s<br />

<p>This plugin adds a warning to the WordPress admin bar when search engine visibility is off.</p>
<p>That’s all it does! No options, settings, or complications, just a small but obvious warning to ensure you never launch a site with the “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” box checked.</p>
<h3>How to use</h3>
<p>Install the plugin from the WordPress plugin repository and activate the plugin. There are no settings or options.</p>
