While implementing bug 1303333, I noticed an odd behaviour: when performing searches from the awesomebar using the keyword associated with a search engine, it doesn't get counted into Telemetry (i.e. SEARCH_COUNT histogram). If we perform the same search by clicking on the one-off engine icon, it gets properly counted. STR: - Define a keyword for a search engine in the Preferences -> Search (for example, 'ddg') - In the urlbar, write 'ddg some search' and press enter. - It will search using the search engine identified by the 'ddg' keyword. - In about:telemetry, expand the Keyed Histogram section and look up the SEARCH_COUNT histogram: there will be no count associated with the last search.
could be the same as bug 1306639. This regression is recent and I'm trying to fix it.
Depends on: 1306639

Summary: One-off searches using keywords not being counted in SEARCH_COUNT → One-off searches using search aliases not being counted in SEARCH_COUNT
it seems to be fixed in current nightly, so bug 1306639 did its job. After using a "g" search engine alias for Google I see a SEARCH_COUNT entry for google.
