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.

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,
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
