About

Microformats are a set of defined HTML classes and attributes created to serve as descriptive metadata about an element, representing commonly published things like people, events, blog posts, reviews, and so on.

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.
