Has anybody gotten a soft 404 error for search queries. I am seeing one for "?s=%7Bsearch_term%7D" It looks like others get it but can't figure out how to fix it.
 
First of all check the http header that actual page does indeed return a 404 error... After that I would prevent it from being crawled by search engines as there is no point having it indexed - to do that you need to add this to your html head section:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
