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.
WebAssembly (Wasm) is a portable binary instruction format that runs in modern web browsers with near-native performance, enabling frontend coding in languages that were not traditionally used for web interfaces, such as 
C/C++, 
C#, and 
Rust.
It is designed as a low-level compilation target with a compact binary format, fast execution, memory-safe sandboxing, and a stack-based virtual machine. It also integrates with 
JavaScript to access Web APIs and share memory efficiently.
