This document describes search telemetry recorded by Toolkit such as search service telemetry and telemetry related to fetching search suggestions.
Other important search-related telemetry is recorded by Firefox and is documented in :doc:`/browser/search/telemetry` in the Firefox documentation.
Records the number of secure (i.e., using https) OpenSearch search engines a given user has installed.
Records the number of insecure (i.e., using http) OpenSearch search engines a given user has installed.
Records the number of OpenSearch search engines with secure updates enabled (i.e., using https) a given user has installed.
Records the number of OpenSearch search engines with insecure updates enabled (i.e., using http) a given user has installed.
Records the WebExtension ID of a search engine where the saved search engine settings do not match the WebExtension.
The keys are the WebExtension IDs. The values are integers:
- Associated WebExtension is not installed.
- Associated WebExtension is disabled.
- The submission URL of the associated WebExtension is different to that of the saved settings.
This histogram records the latency in milliseconds of fetches to the suggestions endpoints of search engines, or in other words, the time from Firefox's request to a suggestions endpoint to the time Firefox receives a response. It is a keyed exponential histogram with 50 buckets and values between 0 and 30000 (0s and 30s). Keys in this histogram are search engine IDs for built-in search engines and 'other' for non-built-in search engines.
Telemetry for the user's default search engine is currently reported via two systems:
- Legacy telemetry: Fields are reported within the legacy telemetry environment
- Glean: Fields are documented in the Glean dictionary.
These search service fields are documented via Glean dictionary.
The time duration it takes for the search service to start up.
