Google will retire its Sitelinks Search Box feature on November 21, 2024, due to declining usage over the past decade. This tool allowed users to search within specific websites directly from search results but will no longer appear globally. The removal will not impact website rankings or other sitelinks. Additionally, Google will discontinue related reports and markup highlighting, while still supporting the underlying structured data.
