Error: Page contains property "query-input" which is not part of the schema

Solution

It’s explained in the documentation about Actions:

Additional information is often required from a user or client in order to formulate a complete request. To facilitate this process we need the ability to describe within a potential action how to construct these inputs. Since we need this capability for filling in any property of an Action, we introduce a notion of property annotations using a hypen ("-") delimiter. For example, by specifying a "location-input" property on a potential action we are indicating that "location" is a supported input for completing the action.

But as this property does not exist (i.e., it’s not defined in the property table on `SearchAction`), validators report it as an error.

This issue already gets discussed on Schema.org’s GitHub: SearchAction example uses "query-input" property that is not defined

So you did not do something wrong. Unless Schema.org decides that Actions should be handled in a different way, validators should probably update and allow `-input` and `-output` suffixes.

Problem

I get this error from the Google RichSnippets testing tool: Error: Page contains property "query-input" which is not part of the schema. But where did I make a mistake? HTML: ``` <div id="dkAjaxSearch"> <input id="ajaxSearch" type="text" value="" name="search_term" itemprop="query-input"> Press Enter to search </div> ``` JSON-LD: ``` <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "http://schema.org", "@type": "WebSite", "url": "https://domain.com/", "potentialAction": { "@type": "SearchAction", "target": "http://domain.com/search/{search_term_string}", "query-input": "required name=search_term_string" } } </script> ``` Documentation: An improved search box within the search results
