I need to disallow indexing search results in my gallery (because of duplicate content). Links look like /bla-bla//thumbnails.php?album=search&search=keyword. Can I use this: Disallow: /search&search= Thank u for help

The disallow has to have the URI from the begining, as it matches from there. So from your example you would have to have Disallow: /bla-bla//thumbnails.php?album=search
The exaple you gave of Disallow: /search&search= Would not work, as that doesn't match the start URI of what you are trying to disallow.

Yes, if you disallow: /bla-bla//thumbnails.php?album=search
a request for GET /bla-bla//thumbnails.php?album=somethingelse would still be allowed, as it wouldn't match the disallow.
