About
Microdata is an HTML specification that is used to nest metadata within a document, in parallel with the existing content.
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.
