Currently, when an experiment affects the search configuration is applied, it is applied as soon as the client gets the notification of the new experiment.

This is in contrast to most other search configuration updates where we wait until the user has been idle for 5 minutes, or they restart.

We should:

  • Change experiments to wait for an amount of time for the user to be idle (5 minutes may be too much? maybe the current configuration delay could be shortened as well).
  • Implement an exposure event to indicate when the configuration with the experiment is applied.
    • This can probably be done just once per session.
