Comment (by burtrw):

 I've seen this a lot recently too and had a few customer complaints who
 thought they had been hacked. I'd be all for core behavior to not index
 ?s= search result pages. Would the additional option under Settings >
 Reading be necessary? Maybe if you really wanted search pages to be
 indexed, that could be left up to plugins?
