@lwa-moz Apologies, but could you please provide a bit more info about what you mean when you say "Google search tile"? Do you mean the topSites?

Yes, that's correct. Speaking to this navigational tile in topSites on the Firefox homescreen:

Sorry to bother you again @lwa-moz , but I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "attribution in a similar fashion to the existing telemetry in other search access points, such as the Awesome Bar." Below I put up a link to all the Awesomebar related metrics I found and all of them seem to be durations.

Would you mind being more specific with the metrics you'd like to see implemented?

@lwa-moz I am not sure if I am missing some details here, but isn't this the same as Implement top site search engine attribution ?

I think this is calling for telemetry for the "https://www.google.com" top site, but we should wait for further clarifications. You will see in #17304 that we do an exact string match since the default Google top site can be removed and re-added.

I don't know much about the existing telemetry regarding search access points, but it might be good to take a look what is happening there.

Leaving this open to track telemetry related work specifically.

Verified in the latest Beta 86.0.0-beta.3, and on the 2/9 Nightly build, with OnePlus 5T (Android 10), that the Google search tile allows for atribution:

{
          "category": "top_sites",
          "name": "open_google_search_attribution",
          "timestamp": 2264
 }

Verified also on the latest RC build 85.1.3 with OnePlus 5T (Android 10):

 {
          "category": "top_sites",
          "name": "open_google_search_attribution",
          "timestamp": 3689
        }

We landed another telemetry in #17637 so I am throwing this back up for qa:needed. This should be similar to #6556 except we are accessing the search access point through the Google Top Site.

Verified with OnePlus 5T (Android 10) on:

• 2/12 Nightly build - ping: c6f8ba88-6a58-45ae-8b4a-fb57cde5e17d

{
          "category": "top_sites",
          "name": "open_google_search_attribution",
          "timestamp": 3392
        },
        {
          "category": "events",
          "extra": {
            "source": "shortcut.topsite"
          }

Glean dashboard

On RC 85.1.3, and on Beta 86.0.0-beta.4 the "shortcut.topsite" event isn't triggered.

Closing since this is now verified.
