SearchActionType
About
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.
Twitter Cards are a metadata format used by 
X, originally Twitter, that enables links in posts to display rich previews with images, videos, and interactive media to increase engagement and traffic.
They are defined via specialized meta tags embedded in web pages, support multiple card types, and enable previews such as articles with images and descriptions, app install prompts, and embedded audio or video players with playback controls.
