If I disable search.php
will that automatically disable
search.php?query=1
search.php?query=2
search.php?query=3
search.php?query=4&query=6
search.php?query=5

Yes, say if you delete search.php then all URLs that have it as filename will fail regardless of params.

Note that this is not really the right forum for this sort of question.

I probably worded it poorly. I mean if I disallow search.php in robots.txt will the search engines not crawl search.php?query=1
I have the feeling you thought I meant something else.

Yes, so long as you make sure correct patch is used -- according to robots.txt standard a URL will be considered disallowed if it starts with whatever was in disallowed field.
