I'm curious about this because there are no rules about this interaction in the PHB apart from a rule on spellcasting that states that I can't cast another spell if I cast a spell as a bonus action unless one of those spells is a cantrip. So my question is, can I cast bonus action spell like Searing Smite and then Attack twice with an Extra Attack Feature?

D&D Beyond FoundersIn short, yes. 😊
The longer form answer involves some, "it depends what the spell is and what the rules state for it"
As per your example though, searing smite is designed to be used in that way.

Generally, actions and bonus actions can be done in any order.
Some bonus actions specifically need to go after a specific action, but only if they say they do.
