Redirect to collection page from vendor search query

I’m trying to optimise my collections, and I would like to find a way to redirect the vendor query. For example from this: https://hellocharlie.com.au/collections/vendors?q=Moltex to this: https://hellocharlie.com.au/collections/moltex

It seems that Shopify won’t allow me to do it - none of my redirects are showing up. Is there a way around this? Thanks for any help!

Welcome to Shopify Community.
Search query is only related to product, in any ecommerce, like wordpress, magento ,Shopify etc.

Not the Collection page.
I hope you understand what i am saying. this is silly,
Their is no, way for this to achieve it.

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply, but that doesn’t actually answer my question about how I redirect. Surely if I have a path there is a way to redirect it?
