Google indexing Internal Search Results
-
Greeting,
Currently I have noticed that Google is starting to index our internal search page results. Should I block those pages in our robot txt file or have you ever heard of any websites that actually gained traffic or rank by letting Google index those pages?
Thanks

Yes you should block these pages.
This is a quote from Matt Cutts concerning this issue
Use robots.txt to prevent crawling of search results pages or other auto-generated pages that don’t add much value for users coming from search engines
Disallow: /search
