Comment (by joostdevalk):

 I'd actually prefer us to rip out the clean version of search permalinks
 from all WordPress sites. Basically get rid of `/search/` altogether and
 redirect all `/search/` to `?s=` queries.

 For search, using a parameterized URL has remained the most common pattern
 across all big CMSes and big websites. It makes tracking a lot easier, and
 not having both clean and non-clean modes actually improves cache hit
 rates and decreases spam attack vectors.

 Paginated search URLs should then always use a second parameter, so, back
 to `https://example.com/?s=test&paged=2` or similar.
