      While checking the code source of your page I did not notice the corresponding SCHEMA for the search box.

      Try troubleshooting it with the following information

      Sorry if I added to the confusion.

        Yes, I am very sorry. I did not understand your question at first. I read it too quickly.

          I don't know what you're talking about. We have not added the code yet (we're doing it next week).

            I have also requested that the endorsement be removed so as to properly solve your issue.

            Again, I am very sorry

                That schema is the best way to make sure that the search bar is added to the SERP. Because Google might or might no add the search bar without that schema.

                Here is an additional link

                  Thanks - but are SURE that adding the schema will make the box appear? (that was my original question)

                    At least for your brand name, I am 99% sure that it will appear with the next scrape.

                      Hi Yair! You definitely need to install the code if you want the search box to appear with Sitelinks, as well as follow all other recommendations listed in the documentation you linked to. As the documentation itself implies, however, there are no guarantees that the search box will appear.

                      Search Box Note Appearing? 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.

                      Let us know how this turns out for you once everything's set up, okay? Until then, best of luck!

                      Christy

                        Hey, sorry about that, ya'll! I, too, misread the question. I think we are all back on track now, though. Thanks to you both for reaching out. 😉
