Google improved search box within the search results not working

Google displays a search box for the first result.

I follow Google’s tutorial for improved search box within the search results just like above screenshot.

I added this code in my front sitepage:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
   "@context": "http://schema.org",
   "@type": "WebSite",
   "url": "https://www.xxx.com/",
   "potentialAction": {
   "@type": "SearchAction",
      "target": "https://www.xxx.com/search/site/{keys}",
      "query-input": "required name=keys"
    }
 }

 </script>

Am I doing something wrong? My site uses Drupal 7.

Solution

  • Looks correct (assuming that /search/site/strawberry successfully searches for "strawberry").

    Note that Google is not displaying the Sitelinks Search Box for all sites/queries:

    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.
