How to make CNC for search engines?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

My site is indexed in search engines like this - https://www.site.com/folder/page.php
And for everyone else it displays https://www.site.com/folder/page
If I remove extensions and index using htaccess .php in links, what will happen to search results? Will there also be an abbreviated version?
