Ask google for more help. Report back what they say.

In the meantime, at least you have provided something that can help to diagnose;

The search_term is urlencoded, so what should be:

{search_term}
is
%7Bsearch_term%7D

Therefore this is at a higher level than this addon, so may need attention - @ecartz will have a better idea of the practicalities of this.

In the meantime you can rawurldecode the URL as so, at L17 of this addon;

Hi

Rather than decoding the entire URL, it would probably be better to just str_replace: Then it won't accidentally decode something that should be encoded.

I have done this as a precaution but I have now had an email from Google Search saying

Search Console has identified that your site is affected by 1 Sitelinks searchbox structured data issue(s):

We recommend that you fix these issues when possible to enable the best experience and coverage in Google Search

Maybe here's some insight:

A line from the Sitelinks Searchbox hook from a 1.0.7.15 shop that Google has no problems with Here's the same line from Sitelinks Searchbox hook from a newer version of the addon in 1.0.8.16+ shops that Google has issues with And this one also, which is an edit from @ecartz I believe I think tep_href_link is deprecated but still recognized

I hope I helped.

Sitelinks Searchbox has been deprecated by Google.

Therefore this addon will not be updated for 1.1.0.0, and should be considered END OF LIFE

Anyone using this addon on an older version of Phoenix can leave it alone - according to the blog post above, this will not hurt anything. Or you can remove it by deleting the following file;

/includes/hooks/shop/index/sitelinks_searchbox.php

If it was me making the decision for your site, I would delete the file.

The download for this Addon has been removed.
