When a search engine comes to index.php and will be redirected, it will
usually delete the old page from its database and will replace it with
main.php.
It will simply think that the page has moved (and when the redirection
is in place on the site, then it apparently has moved, as the same would
happen for usual visitors) and adjusts its index (database records)
accordingly.
