 You can already do this using the '''wp_redirect''' function.
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_redirect/

 Add this to the site functions.php or as a code snippet.

 {{{#!php
 function wp_change_search_url_rewrite() {
         if ( is_search() && ! empty( $_GET['s'] ) ) {
                 wp_redirect( home_url( "/search/" ) . urlencode(
 get_query_var( 's' ) ) );
                 exit();
         }
 }
 add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wp_change_search_url_rewrite' );
 }}}


 Example
 http://example.com/search/hello+world
