  • I agree that this is not a WordPress bug and in fact a “syntax” issue.
    I want to understand on a larger scale on how to prevent this. The following url is invalid because The ?p= parameter is supposed to get an integer not a string. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/?p=online+casinos Although invalid, it doesn’t generate a 404 and the content is there under this link and google will crawl and index this page.

    In order to prevent garbage in garbage out, then Microsoft.com needs to reference the correct canonical link element in the <head> to prevent back-links using that invalid string?

    Reference on wikipedia
    In February 2009, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft announced support for the canonical link element, which can be inserted into the <head> section of a web page, to allow webmasters to prevent these issues.[7] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_link_element
