About
oEmbed is an open format that allows websites to embed representations of external URLs such as videos, images, and posts from third-party services.
It defines a simple API that returns structured metadata in 
JSON or 
XML for generating content previews, and supports multiple content types including video, photo, link, and rich embeds.
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.
