Implementing Site Link Search Box

Hi Friends,

Can you suggest me how to implement "Site Link Search Box" for our online shopping website.

I have updated the schema mark up in my website home page, but it is not updated in our SERP pages yet. 

// {
  "@context":"http://schema.org",
  "@type":"WebSite",
  "url": "https://www.nitraafurniture.com/",
  "potentialAction": {
    "@type":"SearchAction",
    "target": "http://www.nitraafurniture.com/SearchResults.aspx?Search={search_term}&multi=true",
    "query-input": "required name=search_term"
  }
}

Please if any modifications required in code.

Thanks?> // >

  • Richard Hearne: Not every result will have the inline search box under their result:

    "Search box not displaying? The Sitelinks search box appears only for navigational queries and when relevant for users. Google algorithms use a variety of factors to determine when the box appears, including the information on the site and different types of navigational queries from Search users."
