Yikes.

What could Google do to mitigate?

You noindex search pages or anything user generated, it's really that simple

Not enough. According to this article (https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/penge/pludselig-dukkede-nyhed-op-d... you probably need to translate) its enough to link to an authorative site that accepts a query parameter. Googles AI picks up the query parameter as a fact. The artile is about a danish compay probably circumventing sanctions and how russian actors manipulate that fact and turn it around via Google AI

Yeah all pages should have a proper canonical which would solve this too

In this case, all i had to do was let the crawler know not to index the search page. I used the robots noindex meta tag on the search page.
