The Sitelinks Search Box is a feature that enhances search results for specific websites when users search for company names or brands. When users search for a specific company, the Sitelinks Search Box appears below the main search result for that company. This interactive search box allows users to perform searches directly on the company’s website from the search results page. It supports Autocomplete, suggesting relevant search terms as users begin typing, which helps them find specific information quickly.
