    It is better to tell Google and other search engines not to crawl and index the /search/ URI in your WordPress virtual robots code.

    // WordPress Virtual robots.txt additions
    add_filter( 'robots_txt', 'v_robots', 10, 2 );
    
    function v_robots( $output, $public ) {
    $output .= "Disallow: /wp-login.php" . "\n";
    $output .= "Disallow: /search/" . "\n";
    return $output;
    }

    It is recommended by me and the WP folks that you use the WordPress virtual robots function in your theme’s functions.php file instead of a plain text robots.txt file, but yes you can do that instead if you want to. I read somewhere a long time ago why it is better to use the WordPress virtual robots function, but I can’t remember why that is.
