As the #structured-data-commons project ramps up, we'll need to figure out a baseline for metrics on Commons in order to measure future successes. This ticket will be used as a base for the needs/wants for this endeavor.
> This is scheduled to take place in Q2, as per goals: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technology/Goals/2017-18_Q2#Segment_2:_Search_integration_and_exposure
= Let's do this by:
* Investigating what and if sufficient eventlogging is already setup for Commons search
** if not, investigate what are the appropriate metrics to track
** is eventlogging setup only on Commons or is it on other projects
** can eventlogging from various sources be combined into a meaningful set of metrics/dashboard*** Multi-projects at once?
*** Search satisfaction schema
* How do users generally use Commons
** Are there behaviors that we can easily identify to help make search better
** Is there a way to tell what the current zero results rate is for searches on Commons
> This is scheduled to take place in Q2,* How many search "hits" are based on a match in the file name vs. description vs. category
* Better analysis of how many files may be currently "unfindable" because of lack of categorization, unhelpful file name, no description (or poor description)
* Analysis of how many contributions are made by individuals vs. as per goals: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technology/Goals/2017-18_Q2#Segment_2:_Search_integration_and_exposuremass-tools/institutions

= Things to think about / keep in mind:
* Zero results rate (ZRR)
* More relevant results
** What is ‘relevant’
* Clickthroughs from cross-project searches
* API usage
* User engagement
** ‘People were able to learn more’
* User satisfaction
* Effort users spend finding something
* Time users spend finding something
* Tracking downloads of media
* Steps to unique queries
* How many embeds on other projects
* How many times a specific file/image has shown up in searches
* How many files/images never show up in searches
* How many searches are by exclusions
** ‘Pictures of cats but not calicos’
