Sitelinks search field: Change target url

Hello,

I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the Sitelinks Searchbox Schema. To change the target URL parameter in the SearchAction schema, you can use a code snippet. Here’s an example of how you can modify it to include the post_type=product parameter:

/**
 * Filter to modify the SearchAction JSON-LD data
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld/search_action_url_template', function( $url_template ) {
    // Modify the URL template as needed
    $url_template = 'http://www.yoursite.com/your-post-name/`';

    return $url_template;
});

You can add this code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file or the Rank Math custom code editor. After adding the code, remember to click the Update File button.

If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly here. We are here to help!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hello,

Apologies for the inconvenience.

To change the search URL for Sitelinks Searchbox schema, please use this filter on your site instead:

/**
 * Allows filtering of the search URL.
 *
 * @param string $search_url The search URL for this site with a <code>{search_term_string}</code> variable.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld/search_url',  function( $url ) {
    $url = 'https://yourwebsite.com/?s={search_term_string}&post_type=product';
   return $url;
});

Please ensure to update the website in the code with your actual domain name.

Here’s a way to apply the filter on your site:
