This is a super-simple plugin which will turn WordPress' default /?s=query%20terms into /search/query+terms/ if you have pretty permalinks enabled.

This is something which I have been placing into a theme include or in a core functionality plugin until recently, but it makes sense to separate this functionality out into an individual plugin so it can be switched on and off independently.

The plugin has no administrative interface or control panel. Activation turns it on, deactivation turns it off. Once activated, performing a search using the standard WP search widget should give you a much nicer search URL.
