1919180 - Add telemetry to differentiate symbol or keyword entering search mode

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, task, P2)

Description

[Mandy Cheang [:mcheang][she/her]]

When the user enters search mode by typing these symbols (*, ^, %, >) , it is currently being record via:
urlbar.searchmode.typed.

We want to add telemetry so we can understand when the user enters search mode via the new restrict keywords (@tabs, @history, @bookmarks, @actions) rather than using the symbols. The scalar keys for urlbar.searchmode.typed and urlbar.searchmode.keywordoffer has been updated.

Summary of changes

• urlbar.searchmode.typed: The scalar key is suffixed with "keyword" for restrict keyword entries and "symbol" for symbol entries.
• urlbar.searchmode.keywordoffer: The scalar key is suffixed with "keyword" for restrict keyword entries via keywordoffer.
• Example: History search mode scalar key is history_keyword for restrict keyword and history_symbol for symbol.

Restrict keywords (@bookmarks, @tabs, @history, @actions):

Testing Steps

• type full keyword @tabs
• type partial keyword @t and press right arrow to autofill

Expected telemetry scalar keys for urlbar.searchmode.typed

tabs_keyword

Testing Steps

• type@ and click on tabs result
• type@ and arrow down to tabs result and press enter
• type partial keyword @t and press enter to autofill
• type partial keyword @t and press tab and then enter

Expected telemetry scalar key for urlbar.searchmode.keywordoffer

tabs_keyword

Symbols (%, ^, *, >):

Testing Steps

• type % and space to enter tabs search mode
• type ^ and space to enter history search mode
• type * and space to enter bookmarks search mode
• type > and space to enter actions search mode

Expected telemetry scalar keys for urlbar.searchmode.typed

tabs_symbol
history_symbol
bookmarks_symbol
