I received an alert this morning from Google Search Console reporting that there has been a sharp increase in "Soft 404's". Here is an example of the url that is triggering the 404:

search/%E5%A4%A7%E5%A5%96%E5%A8%B1%E4%B9%90%E6%80%8E%E4%B9%88%E4%B8%8B%E8%BD%BD%E4%B8%8D%E4%BA%86+Q82019309.com.com/


Which is reportedly linked from here:
www.example.com/?s=%E5%A4%A7%E5%A5%96%E5%A8%B1%E4%B9%90%E6%80%8E%E4%B9%88%E4%B8%8B%E8%BD%BD%E4%B8%8D%E4%BA%86+Q82019309.com.com

I'm confused by what could be triggering this? It seems like a bot would be doing something like this but why would Google be reporting this as a Soft 404 when it really doesn't exist anyway?
