#### Background
This is the 2nd phase of the larger [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/iOS/Navigation_Refresh#Phase_2:_Improvements_to_top_navigation_and_article_search_(T379440) | Navigation Refresh ]] (T373712) planned for the iOS App. This work is part of the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Readers/2024_Reader_and_Donor_Experiences | Annual Plan WE3 ]], 3.1 KR to //Release two curated, accessible, and community-driven browsing and learning experiences to representative wikis, with the goal of increasing the logged-out reader retention of experience users by 5%//.
Our draft hypothesis is: **If we make the article search bar more prominent, we will increase the number of users who initiate searches by 8%, possibly leading to a 1% increase in search retention rate for logged out users.**
####How will we know we were successful
**Validation**
//These will be measured via an A/B test //
- KR 1.1 8% increase in users initiating Search from article view
- Control group: unique users in A who have initiated at least one search from article view/unique users in A who have had article views
- Variant group: unique users in B who have initiated at least one search from article view/unique users in B who have had article views
- [Primary metric] KR 1.2 1% higher app retention rate for logged-out users that had the more prominent article search (using [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_and_Decision_Science/Data_glossary/Retention_Rate#Retention_rate_of_one_cohort | 2-week retention ]])
- Control cohort: of the unique users in A who engaged with the control search icon, what % were retained to the app?
- Variant cohort: of the unique users in B who engaged with the variant search bar, what % were retained to the app?
- KR 1.3 5% increase in average pageviews/unique user for those who engaged new article search bar
- Control group: average pageviews/unique user for users in group A who initiated at least one search from article view
- Variant group: average pageviews/unique user for users in group B who initiated at least one search from article view
**Guardrails**
- GR 2.1 No more than 10 negative user complaints about changes to the Navigation that can’t be addressed.
- GR 2.2 No more than 5% increase in app uninstalls (vs baseline)
- GR 2.3 No more than a 10% increase in app crashes
**Curiosities**
- CR 3.1 Did account creations increase as a result of the Profile menu being accessible from all screens? (Baseline of 15 days before vs Experiment Date Range)
- CR 3.2 Do users prefer a different location for the article view search?
- CR 3.3 What was the feature retention rate for article search for both A & B? (Recalculate 1.2 but using return to engage with article search as definition of retention, not return to overall app) Please split by Logged-in and logged-out
####Requirements
- Navigation bar
- Make navigation bar elements system, instead of custom
- Create standardized header for permanent views (Explore, Search, Saved)
- Reserve space for Tabs in the standardized header
- Search bar is more prominent within article view
- From the article, users can
- Search
- Go Back to previous article
- Access Profile
- Navigate back to main view
- Search Tab
- Move Places or History into Search, and adjust recently searched
- Move recently searched so it displays after clicking into search
- Show tooltip letting users know that Search has been updated
- Design only:
- Created updated views for Temporary accounts where needed
####User Stories
Primary
- As a reader checking out the Pluto article from a browser link, I want to have quick access to Search, so I can quickly pull up the NASA article without having to navigate back to the main view.
- As a student who uses iOS devices, I want to have navigational elements that make sense to me without thinking, so that I can just start using the app for researching with no learning curve.
Secondary
- As a tourist in a new city, I want to see recommendations about Places nearby me while I search for a monument, so that I can continue to learn more about the city.
- As a student researching Geology, I want to have access to my Tabs from the main views of the app, so that I can jump between different Wikipedia articles I am using for sources.
- As an experienced editor, I would like there to be an explicit "Contribute" section within the app, so that I can find contribution tools, and so newcomers can find new ways to contribute.
####Target Quant Regions and Languages
Release will be available to all users, but we will measure success using these audiences:
- Arabic users in Egypt, Sudan, Algeria, and Morocco
- French users in Sub Saharan Africa
####Target Qualitative Audience
- Readers who use iOS and the Wikipedia app
- Guardrail Groups
- Low Bandwidth Readers
- Blind and Low Vision Users
