Goodbye to the Sitelinks Search Box

Farewell, Sitelinks Search Box

It’s been over ten years since we initially announced the sitelinks search box in Google Search, and over time, we’ve noticed that usage has dropped. With that, and to help simplify the search results, we’ll be removing this visual element starting on November 21, 2024.

This change will apply globally across all search results, in all languages and countries. This doesn’t affect rankings or the other sitelinks visual element, and won’t be listed in the Search status dashboard. Once we stop showing sitelinks search box elements in Search, we’ll remove the Search Console rich results report for it and stop highlighting the markup in the Rich Results Test.

While you can remove sitelinks search box structured data from your site, there’s no need to do so. Unsupported structured data like this won’t cause issues in Search, and won’t trigger errors in Search Console reports. If you decide to remove sitelinks search box structured data, note that site names also uses a variation of WebSite structured data, which continues to be supported.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop by our Search Central help community, or ping us on social media.

    Выражаю огромную благодарность за доступное разъяснение ПДД инструктору Ткаченко Сергею Дмитриевичу!!! Сидишь дома читаешь – каша в голове. Приходишь в класс, так все доступно, понятно объяснит, разъяснит, все с юмором, на позитиве, что в голове все укладывается по полочкам, все на своих местах))) Администратор Кристина такая позитивная, отзывчивая девушка. Можно обратиться по любому вопросу, всегда поможет, расскажет, сориентирует. И, наконец, инструктор Андрей – позитивчик, ответит на любой вопрос, на понятном тебе языке) В целом, конечно очень положительное впечатление от учебного процесса. Я очень доволен!))))

    Along with every little thing which appears to be developing throughout this specific subject matter, all your opinions tend to be relatively refreshing. Having said that, I appologize, but I can not give credence to your whole theory, all be it exhilarating none the less. It would seem to everybody that your comments are not entirely justified and in simple fact you are your self not completely certain of your point. In any case I did take pleasure in reading it.
