    Hello @chcw

    Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin.

    I see that your site is a victim of internal search spam. You can filter search spam using crawl optimization settings in the plugin. Navigate to WordPress > Yoast SEO > Settings > Advanced > Crawl Optimization and scroll down to Internal site search cleanup. Then toggle the respective buttons. You can learn more: Internal site search cleanup

    Hi, @maybellyne

    Thank you for your great answer.

    One more question, if I enable “Redirect pretty URLs to ‘raw’ format“, will that change my permalink settings.

    I just make a test, and it seems it will NOT change the permalink setting(mine is post name, https://www.example.com/sample-post/)

    Redirect pretty URLs to ‘raw’ format doesn’t change your permalink settings but redirects pretty URLs for search pages to the raw format. It’s specific to search pages not the site-wide permalinks
