Comment (by jonoaldersonwp):

 Now that we have a rudimentary robots tag API in core, this should
 definitely be considered.

 I agree on not needing a UI control, and, having this noindex by default.

 There are very few valid use-cases for enabling indexing of search
 results, outside of having a very non-standard theme. Even Yoast SEO
 doesn't allow users to disable our nonindex'ing of search results via the
 UI (though we do have filters).
