    Hi ! I have this code. It makes to be redirected to homepage when you try to search something shorter than 3 letters. I want to show a message “your search should be longer than 3 letters” instead of redirect to homepage

    $query = get_search_query();
    // if the first & last char is space, rip them
    $query = trim($query);
    // if there are more than one space, rip to one space
    $query = preg_replace(‘/ss+/’, ‘ ‘,$query);
    // if chars count is less than 3, redirect them to homepage
    if (strlen($query)<3){
    wp_redirect( home_url() );
    exit;
    }
