XF 2.2 Google Sitelinks searchbox not showing

[RichDevman]

I thought this was built into Xenforo. I am talking about the Sitelinks searchbox in google. When someone searches your domain or your domain comes in search they can search your site right through google for content.

Thanks

Google decides which sites it implements that for.

Yes, true but I believe schema code can also trigger it.

Or I believe it cannot work without the schema code.

I just thought this was already built in but I do not think so.

It will show for XF sites if Google implements it for the site.

It works for this site.

Yes, I understand google has to implement it but what I am saying is that they will not even implement it if structured data guidelines are not met.

The guidelines are met or it wouldn't work for this site.

Yeah, I suppose you are correct. I will have to dive deeper into this.

The only real issue I have now in the console is 10 server errors mostly from urls that no longer work after moving from Vbulletin. I have requested removal of those urls.
