Bug 1102937 added telemetry support for the new search bar UI from bug 1088660, but it didn't take into account the "Paste & Search" context menu item case. Searches performed from this context menu of the searchbar are currently counted as "unknown". We should change the code at http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/bb8d6034f5f2/browser/components/search/content/search.xml#l819 to pass the command event to handleSearchCommand, and then handleSearchCommand should be modified to support the command event and look at the anonid of the node that received the event. See bug 1120389 for the related discussion that caused me to file this. Blake offered to mentor this :-).

Hi, I want to work for this bug. I already build the Firefox code.
Welcome Vikram! I've assigned the bug to you, so please feel free to start working on it! Do the instructions from Florian give you enough information to get started? If you have any questions about the code or the process of getting it checked in, you can ask me in a comment here, and I'll reply as soon as I can. Thanks, Blake.

Hi Can you tell me little about what actualy I have to do? and what is the function of the search.xml code snipet. Actually i recently joined the mozilla community, and solved plenty of bugs. Thanks.
Hmm. So, I've thought about it a little, and I think we want to call BrowserUITelemetry.registerContextMenuInteraction (in addition to all the stuff that's already there) when the code snippet at https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/search/content/search.xml#838 runs. We'll also need to figure out what we should pass in to that function.
BrowserUITelemetry and registerContextMenuInteraction are not int the given search.xml file. Actually I am not getting what to do!! and how can I reproduce the bug in browser? Thanks.
Okay, let's start with reproducing the bug. Here are the steps I'm thinking of: Select some text on a page, and copy it to the clipboard. Right-click on the search bar and select the "Paste & Search" option. Open about:telemetry in a tab. Expand the "Simple Measurements" section, and look for the "UITelemetry" entry. In the data beside it should be the word "contextmenu", and near there should be the word "paste-and-search". (Currently the word "paste-and-search" isn't in there. This bug is about adding it. :) Does that make sense to you? Let me know if it makes sense, or if you have any questions, and I'll explain a little more about what the fix should look like, and how it will work. Thanks!
Yes! Great. I got the idea! Thanks. Now please tell me how to fix this.
Great! So, registerContextMenuInteraction is a function defined on the BrowserUITelemetry object, which is in the global scope (which is why you don't see it defined). So I think the next step is to add: console.log('Got here!!!', BrowserUITelemetry.registerContextMenuInteraction); to the string at https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/search/content/search.xml#838 and rebuild Firefox. (As a side note, you can type "./mach build browser/components && ./mach run" to only rebuild the changed files, which will be _way_ faster! :) Once your changed version of Firefox is running, if you open the Browser Console (under Tools >> Web Developer >> Browser Console), then when you choose the "Paste & Search" menu item, you should see a line that has "Got Here!!!" and "function ()" in it. If that works for you, then the next step will be to change the "console.log" to instead call "BrowserUITelemetry.registerContextMenuInteraction", and pass something in as parameters.
ok so when i do this step console.log('Got here!!!', BrowserUITelemetry.registerContextMenuInteraction); in string then paste and search dosent work!!!
Do you see the console message? And did you replace the entire string, or just add that to the front of the string?
replacement: element.setAttribute("oncommand", "console.log('Got here!!!', BrowserUITelemetry.registerContextMenuInteraction);"); error: (firefox:30868): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: assertion `targets != NULL' failed
Okay. So if you add it to the front instead of replacing it, it should work a little better. Give that a try, and let me know how it goes!
is it like this. element.setAttribute("oncommand", "console.log('Got here!!!', BrowserUITelemetry.registerContextMenuInteraction); BrowserSearch.searchBar.select(); goDoCommand('cmd_paste'); BrowserSearch.searchBar.handleSearchCommand();"); if yes so after paste and search option disappears.
I think the string needs to all be on one line, but other than that it looks okay to me…
here what i did 1) element.setAttribute("oncommand", "BrowserUITelemetry.registerContextMenuInteraction("Hieee"); BrowserSearch.searchBar.select();goDoCommand('cmd_paste');BrowserSearch.searchBar.handleSearchCommand();"); 2) mach build 3) mach run 4) copy something to keyboard and right click and select paste and search BUT the paste and search option is not there.
Ah! Excellent! So, "BrowserUITelemetry.registerContextMenuInteraction("Hieee")" isn't going to work, because registerContextMenuInteraction is expecting an eventKey and a target! :) The target should probably be 'paste-and-search'. And let's try passing in ['["search"]', 'withoutcustom']
ya i did element.setAttribute("oncommand", "BrowserUITelemetry.registerContextMenuInteraction(['["search"]', 'withoutcustom']); BrowserSearch.searchBar.select(); goDoCommand('cmd_paste'); BrowserSearch.searchBar.handleSearchCommand();"); but still the option is not visible
Okay, I think we need a couple more tweaks… Let's try: element.setAttribute("oncommand", "BrowserUITelemetry.registerContextMenuInteraction('[\"search\"]', 'withoutcustom');BrowserSearch.searchBar.select(); goDoCommand('cmd_paste'); BrowserSearch.searchBar.handleSearchCommand();"); and see what happens… (If that also doesn't work, let's undo all the changes, and see if we still get the problem.)
Whoops, I messed up the arguments in that code… The first argument to registerContextMenuInteraction should be the array ['["search"]', 'withoutcustom'] (But note you'll need to escape the "s, because it's in a string!) The second argument should be the string 'paste-and-search'. (If you're on IRC and are still running into problems, feel free to message me directly. That might be faster than trying to do it in the bug… :)
Hi, here what i did, element.setAttribute("oncommand","BrowserUITelemetry.registerContextMenuInteraction(['[\"search\"]', 'withoutcustom'], 'paste-and-search');BrowserSearch.searchBar.select(); goDoCommand('cmd_paste'); BrowserSearch.searchBar.handleSearchCommand();"); But same problem is there the paste and search option is not there in right click menu!!
Okay, two more things to try: 1) You're sure you're right-clicking in the search bar, not the url bar… (I know, it's a long shot, but it's worth asking! ;) 2) Undo all the changes you made, and rebuild, and see if it shows up then. (It should, since it will be the default Firefox code…) Thank you for your persistence on this bug! I'm sure we'll figure out what's going wrong soon…
Hi, The problem in the ./mach build browser/components doesn't work when i did ./mach build it paste and search worked and i got the telemetry http://pastebin.mozilla.org/8261661 but the search gets failed even URL bar doesn't work. i got (firefox:25658): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: assertion `targets != NULL' failed this error.
here i uploaded the patch file. Thanks.

I believe Vikram and I have talked about this on IRC. The one remaining question was "what do we pass", and the answer to that I think is "event", which should be defined for us in the event handler. Vikram, please ping me on IRC if that doesn't work. :)
Flags: needinfo?(bwinton)
Hi, Here i made a first change, I passed the "event" in the handleSearchCommand method. so is this right change http://pastebin.mozilla.org/8440956
please check my recent hg diff! is this look good? http://pastebin.mozilla.org/8441024
For the record, Vikram and I chatted about this patch on IRC, and he's moving forward with an approach we agreed on.
Hi, The paste-and-search got logged, what's next step? Thnaks
Flags: needinfo?(bwinton)
Huh. I could have sworn I replied to this. My apologies for the delay! So the next step will be to put your patch in pastebin, and I'll take a look at it, and we can see what still needs doing. (The final goal is to pass something better than "unknown" as the source parameter at hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/540077a30866/browser/components/search/content/search.xml#l526 )

Hi, sorry for late reply, actually i was busy in my exams !! here is the patch file- http://pastebin.mozilla.org/8760500 Thanks.
Flags: needinfo?(bwinton)
Okay! So, we'll want to add an else case at line 523 that checks if the target's anonId attribute is 'paste-and-search', and if it is, set the "source" variable to "paste". Sound good?
Flags: needinfo?(bwinton)
Ok here i made some changes... http://pastebin.mozilla.org/8783734
Flags: needinfo?(bwinton)
I think we might be good to post it to the bug, with a little cleanup… 1) We can use "target" instead of "aEvent.originalTarget", to be more like the other cases. 2) We should probably use double-quotes (") around 'paste-and-search', to be consistent. 3) The spacing on the "source = "paste";" line looks way off… Can you double-check that you're not using tabs? Once those are fixed, post the full set of changes, and ask Florian for a review! Thanks! :)

I think Florian is saying that you should add a new function, probably on the BrowserSearch object, and then move that code to the new function, and call the new function from the oncommand attribute. Sound good?

Gijs and Florian are saying that we should probably remove the "BrowserUITelemetry.registerContextMenuInteraction" call, since that function is only for tracking right-clicks in the web page, not on the browser. (Also, the next review request should go to Gijs. ;)
