Hi there!
Can you please check the settings you have for the search page in Yoast?
Let us know.
Thanks for your reply
as seen on the screenshot: it all seems fine from the yoast end : “yes” is checked next to “allow search engines to index blabla”
oups.. doesnt seem like i can send the screenshot
All is left is going thru FTP, but i don’t even know where to look at :))
Hello,

Hi,
This is a WordPress default feature and also most SEO plugins will noindex your search pages also, in the majority of cases you do not want your search pages indexed by google for SEO reasons.
If for some reason you did want this then the standard WP functionality can be removed with this filter:
remove_filter( 'wp_robots', 'wp_robots_noindex_search' );
If you are also using a SEO plugin they may need further changes.
If i can help further please let me know.
Thanks,
Stiofan
Ok,
and thanks for your feedback. I just tried to modify this “noindex” attribute because the GSC was displaying a noIndex error for that Search Page…
Please confirm that I should not change anything on that regard?
Also, if needed, where should I implement that “remove_filter” line please?
Thanks in advance…
