Is a website search redirect bad for SEO?

For example, on a site with a domain www.domain.com there is a search form and after submitting some phrase, for example "obama", something like www.domain.com?s=obama is obtained.
To avoid such variables, I made a 301 redirect after such requests as a result of the user throws on www.domain.com/obama
Is it wise?

This is stupidity, what's stopping you from immediately sending the user to www.domain.com/obama , why the heck is another redirect layer? Now I'm struggling with just one site with a thousand and one redirects, apparently it was made by just such wise people.

Better of course without an extra redirect. As far as I know, on pages with search results, Google asks to put disallow in robots.txt

Why doesn't the first option work for you?
Another question - after a 301 redirect, to the page www.domain.com/obama, is it given to you with the code 200? How can you redirect to a page that doesn't exist? Or did you mean to say that you configured the CNC, through mod_rewite, for example?
I think it's not wise and it's better to use links like www.domain.com/?s=obama

The redirect itself isn't bad for SEO, but it's better to get the sections right from the start so you don't have to do those redirects later.

301 redirect imho is normal for www.site.com and site.com aliases - Yandex and Google respond adequately. And in your problem, use mod_rewrite, in Google there is a lot of information
