@adityadharne , you'll need to work with @StudioZut to place the markup.

We also want to make sure not to degrade the current state where google redirects "site:library.gwu.edu" searches to the library site search.

As per the Google how-to above. Step 1 is to put the "SearchAction" markup on the site to observe Google then provide a search box. Step 2 is then to add markup to the Bento results.

As discussed, we will need to add the markup to the production site. Also we'll want to decide on a few example google searches to try before and after each step. Let's also try a couple of other search engines (duckduckgo, yahoo, etc.)
