My website search string result is on top of Google for some reason

For example: security officer chest camera

We don't sell these cameras, but we are on the top of the Google search results. The URL that Google has found is a site search link on the website: example.co.uk/index.php/catalogsearch/result/?q=security+officer+chest+camera

Can someone explain why Google picked this up and we on top of Google

You have enabled your onsite search results to be indexable. As such your site will return essentially blank results to bots following keywords. This will work against you in Google's rankings as Google does punish 'thin pages' such as these.

Simple fix: Block indexing for all your internal site searches.
