>Who does own it?
On our opinion every team should own the definition of a pageview in their product right and when in doubt analytics or research can be involved to provide feedback on lessons learned.

For example: who is best qualified than IOS team to decide what constitutes a page in the IOS app? 
 
With that in mind I have created a ticket to define what constitutes a Search pageview: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120249

Let me know what is a good discovery project to tag this ticket with so this ticket gets some visibility. 

Thanks, 

Nuria
