Telemetry counts for Search Access Point

[liuche]

Need to verify that we're correctly collecting searches from Fenix's Search Access Points (SAP) (like urlbar, search engine, etc). Here is the list of Desktop's access points to compare to.

Acceptance Criteria

• Telemetry type created that is similar to the desktop SEARCH_COUNTS histogram, or a similar data format cleared by Frank Bertsch (Data Engineering) This is labeled_counter.
• Data review for any additional SAP (here is Desktop data review)
• Search access points telemetry has parity (if possible) with Desktop, and collected as the format <engine-name>.<search-access-point> or <engine-name>.alias for search shortcuts
  • For instance, the histogram key for a Google search via the urlbar might look like google-2018.urlbar
  • Desktop's recordSearch implementation
• verify w/ @mconnormoz from the search team about whether Fenix's search access points are sufficient to have parity w/ desktop

Hello @liuche, @mconnormoz. I investigated this and saw that we could not reach SAP parity with desktop because atm most of the search entries do not exist on Fenix.

• abouthome - as a SAP for searching from the HomeFragment is not possible.
• contextmenu - will be implemented in the future in Add "Search" to the text selection toolbar #5695.
• newtab - not sure what SAP this key should be mapped to.
• searchbar - on Fenix we have the BrowserToolbar for which we can track searches with SAP.
  This would be the only SAP common with desktop atm.
• system - not sure what SAP this key should be mapped to.
• urlbar - other than BrowserToolbar we don't have other components which can be mapped with this SAP.
• webextension - will be implemented in the future in [Meta] WebExtension Support #5315.

Separated from this, on Fenix we have the search widget which opens the search screen. Is it considered as SAP?

Thanks for verifying this first piece, that we don't have those Search entry points!

The search widget should be included, so please add that SAP telemetry. Thanks for catching that!
