Control cannot fall through from one case label

I am trying to write a switch statement that would type the search term in the search field depending on whichever search textbox is present. I have the following code. But I am getting a "Control cannot fall through from one case label" error.

switch (searchType)
{
    case "SearchBooks":
        Selenium.Type("//*[@id='SearchBooks_TextInput']", searchText);
        Selenium.Click("//*[@id='SearchBooks_SearchBtn']");

    case "SearchAuthors":
        Selenium.Type("//*[@id='SearchAuthors_TextInput']", searchText);
        Selenium.Click("//*[@id='SearchAuthors_SearchBtn']");
}

Control cannot fall through from one case label (case "SearchBooks":) to another

Control cannot fall through from one case label (case "SearchAuthors":) to another

Since it wasn't mentioned in the other answers, I'd like to add that if you want case SearchAuthors to be executed right after the first case, just like omitting the break in some other programming languages where that is allowed, you can simply use goto.

switch (searchType)
{
    case "SearchBooks":
    Selenium.Type("//*[@id='SearchBooks_TextInput']", searchText);
    Selenium.Click("//*[@id='SearchBooks_SearchBtn']");
    goto case "SearchAuthors";

    case "SearchAuthors":
    Selenium.Type("//*[@id='SearchAuthors_TextInput']", searchText);
    Selenium.Click("//*[@id='SearchAuthors_SearchBtn']");
    break;
}
