Re: SearchAction vs FindAction, and OpenSearch totalResults equivalent

Hi Tim,

I just read your blog post:
https://www.strehle.de/tim/weblog/archives/2016/05/30/1593 and had a go at
it. Does the following work for you?

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context":"http://schema.org",
  "@id":"#MainEntity",
  "@type":"ItemList",
  "mainEntityOfPage":
  {
    "@type":"SearchResultsPage",
    "url":"http://example.com/search?page=2",
    "potentialAction":
    [
    {
      "@type":"SearchAction",
      "actionStatus":"CompletedActionStatus",
      "query":"john doe",
      "result":
      {
        "@id":"#MainEntity"
      }
    },
    {
      "@type":"SearchAction",
      "name":"Did you mean 'jane doe'?",
      "target":
      {
        "@type":"EntryPoint",
        "urlTemplate":"http://example.com/?q=jane+doe"
      }
    },
    {
      "@type":"SearchAction",
      "name":"See also: 'dole'",
      "target":
      {
        "@type":"EntryPoint",
        "urlTemplate":"http://example.com/?q=dole"
      }
    }
    ]
  },
  "numberOfItems":35,
  "itemListOrder":"ItemListOrderDescending",
  "itemListElement":
  [
  {
    "@type":"ListItem",
    "@id":"#FirstSearchResult",
    "previousItem":"http://example.com/search?page=1#LastSearchResult",
    "position":1,
    "item":
    {
      "@type":"ImageObject",
      "name":"Photo of Jane Doe"
    }
  },
  {
    "@type":"ListItem",
    "position":2,
    "item":
    {
      "@type":"ImageObject",
      "name":"Photo of John Doe"
    }
  },
  {
    "@type":"ListItem",
    "@id":"#LastSearchResult",
    "nextItem":"http://example.com/search?page=3#FirstSearchResult",
    "position":3,
    "item":
    {
      "@type":"ImageObject",
      "name":"Photo of John Doe"
    }
  }
  ]
}
</script>
