What is a Sitelinks Search Box? What Is It Used For?

The Sitelinks Search Box is a widget/snippet that affects the Google search results of websites.
In other words, it is a tool shown under your site's title in search results that allows users to search for something without entering your site.
When users use this part, the search results are shown on your site, meaning the user is taken directly to your site.

As you can see in the photos above, when you search with the Sitelinks box, the query you searched for is made in the site's internal search box and presented to the user by the site. The only difference from the search box inside the site is that it is outside the site and located on Google.

How Do I Add a Sitelinks Search Box to My Site?

Now that we have provided information about what Sitelinks is, let's talk about how you can add it to your site.
