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.
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language and file format for storing, transmitting, and reconstructing structured data in a platform-independent way.
It uses a hierarchical tree structure with custom-defined tags, supports schemas such as DTD and XML Schema for validation, enables namespaces to avoid naming conflicts, and is widely used in formats and protocols such as 
RSS, SOAP, and configuration files.
