I’m afraid so, since there is already a Discourse(Rails) route named `/search`: it hits the `SearchController` before it can be processed by the `PermalinkController`.

The `.php` part is considered (mistaken) as the desired response format, thus the 406.

There could be better solutions, but I think you’ll have to handle the redirect on NGINX, before it gets to Discourse:

> **[F5 NGINX: Built for cloud-native apps. Ready for AI traffic.](https://www.f5.com/products/nginx)**

Maybe something along the lines of: (not tested)

```nginx
location = /search.php {
  return 301 /search?$args;
}

```
