About

Really Simple Discovery (RSD) is an XML format that allows client software to discover services provided by web publishing systems.

It helps clients find endpoints for reading, editing, and interacting with website content through APIs.

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.
