This is fantastic work to see!

For future work around this stuff, can I ask that you keep us in the
loop? When you build a feature like this, users get more things - and
search gets more queries, some that succeed and some but fail. But for
this email at the tail-end of the test we wouldn't know this was
happening, and it has the potential to mess with some of our core
KPIs.
