The tasks to track for the forthcoming enhancement on the QS extension that
has this mw.user.sessionid bearing value (it has "-quicksurvey" appended to
it, by the way) is in the extension deployment task
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124488 and its child task for the code
level changes at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T123696. We're in the
middle of sprint 64, and the parent deployment task is in the
prioritized backlog tentatively for sprint 65.

As many of you are aware, Discovery wants to run a
QuickSurvey
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:QuickSurveys> in Q3 to ask
users if they're satisfied with search results. A requirement of this is
that we can tie the survey responses to our search schema and satisfaction
metric, so that we can correlate responses with the data to figure out how
effective our metric actually is at measuring search satisfaction.
Adam, Julien, and I had a brief chat today. We agreed that our goal is to
be able to tie the data together by whatever means necessary, i.e. not
necessarily by changing QuickSurveys if it's easier a different way. Adam
mentioned that QuickSurveys records mw.user.sessionId, which may be
suitable and persistent enough that we could tie our data together if we
added that to our search logging. Obviously, there are other stakeholders
to talk to (Erik, Oliver) and questions to resolve; Julien wants to have a
meeting with Erik and Oliver next week.
Overall, this is good news. :-)
Thanks!
Dan
