Thank you very much, Marco.
I investigated a bit. The type of result is dynamic, but we had not corresponded to this provider.

To resolve it, I will introduce contextual_search.

And also, we don't cover the following providers as well.

• UrlbarProviderWeather: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/3067ba33c2202459aae52b7a0f7218a71fe5f7c3/browser/components/urlbar/UrlbarProviderWeather.sys.mjs#235
• UrlbarProviderExtension https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/3067ba33c2202459aae52b7a0f7218a71fe5f7c3/browser/components/urlbar/UrlbarProviderExtension.sys.mjs#374,397

I will fix them in a follow-up.

Hey Marco,

Sure, you need the browser.urlbar.contextualSearch.enabled pref set to true, that feature is experimental and not enabled by default. It is a site specific search feature that has been backported from FlowState.
I think (though didn't participate to development) the idea is that if you are on a site providing an opensearch engine, and you type a string in the urlbar, you should get a special result in the urlbar that allows you to search that string on the page.
It was implemented in Bug 1794823
The result type in telemetry should be "site_specific_contextual_search"

The issue is verified fixed in the latest Fx 112.0a1 on Window 10 and Ubuntu 22.04. Setting the pref Marco mentioned correctly triggers the "site_specific_contextual_search" for impression, engagement and abandonment pings, results section. Also for the engagement ping, the provider listed is "UrlbarProviderContextualSearch".
