Internal Search Pages Got Index

    A Lot’s of my site’s internal search pages are indexed on search engines (bing/google)

    So I have checked some internal search pages HTML source to see meta tags.

    there was <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow" />

    Then why my search pages are being indexed?

    And I am using search pages links on my post like this
    <a href="https://www.domain.com/search/Text">

    Is this a reason for indexing search pages?

    If yes, then what should I do? Add noindex meta tags directly inside the HTML Anchor tag?

    It is very odd to see the internal search page is being indexed by search engines even when the noindex robots meta is correctly present on the relevant page. We recommend you please use the search page to inspect it from Google Search Console and wait until the relevant search engines recrawl the relevant page and once it does, it should disappear from the search results. How to update information in Google search results?

    Note: if the issue persists after following the above suggestion, you may want to reach out to the relevant search engines webmaster support as we can confirm that Yoast SEO is generating the noindex robots meta on the relevant search page (per your words) as expected.
