About

ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) is a W3C technical specification that defines how to improve the accessibility of web content and applications, particularly those with dynamic interfaces and custom controls.

It provides a set of roles and properties that can be added to HTML to describe user interface elements, their relationships, and current states, enabling assistive technologies such as screen readers to interpret widgets, live updates, and complex interactions that are not natively accessible.

SearchAction is a structured data type from Schema.org that describes a website's search capability.

Before November 2024, it was used by Google to enable the "Sitelinks Search Box" feature, which displayed a search bar for a website directly within the search results snippet. However, since Google deprecated this feature, there is no evidence that other search engines or apps currently support it.
