Define a Search Action

To provide a search action for your WebSite, you need to insert a SearchAction in potentialAction.

To make configuring this easier, the function defineSearchAction is provided.

Make sure that you set place {search_term_string} somewhere in your URL. This represents a query a user would be searching for.

This markup should go in your root Schema definition.

useSchemaOrg([
  defineWebSite({
    potentialAction: [
      defineSearchAction({
        target: '/search?q={search_term_string}'
      })
    ]
  })
])

Define your Search Results Page

Using your WebPage Schema, you can define the page as a search results page.

useSchemaOrg([
  defineWebPage({
    '@type': ['CollectionPage', 'SearchResultsPage'],
  })
])
