Internal search engine

Foreword

AT Internet’s SDK allows you to tag your application’s internal search engine. By doing so, you can see which keywords were entered, as well as the results screen number, and the position of the item selected by the user.

Get off to a good start

Once your tag is initialised, you can add the search information to your screen or gesture hit.

In the case of a Swift project, be sure to import the SmartTracker module in your ViewController. In the case of an Objective-C project, be sure to import the header SmartTracker-Swift.h.

Tagging

The Screen and Gesture objects make an internalSearch property available.

Tagging example

Tagging a search (the user is redirected toward a screen containing the results)

Here, parameters are passed as parameters during the selection of an item on the search screen

1. Search screen tagging
   
   • Swift
   • Objective-C

   import UIKit
   import Tracker
   
   class SearchViewController: UIViewController {
       
       let tracker = ATInternet.sharedInstance.defaultTracker
       
       override func viewDidLoad() {
           super.viewDidLoad()
   
           // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
       }
       
       override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
           let screen = tracker.screens.add("Search View")
           screen.internalSearch = InternalSearch(keyword: "Keyword", resultScreenNumber: 1)
           screen.sendView()
       }
   
       override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
           super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
           // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
       }
   }
   

   // SearchViewController.m
   
   #import "SearchViewController.h"
   #import "SmartTracker/SmartTracker-Swift.h"
   
   @interface SearchViewController ()
   @property (nonatomic, strong) Tracker* tracker;
   @end
   
   @implementation SearchResultViewController
   
   - (void)viewDidLoad {
       [super viewDidLoad];
       
       self.tracker = [ATInternet sharedInstance].defaultTracker;
   }
   
   - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
       [super viewWillAppear:animated];
       Screen *screen = [self.tracker.screens add:@"Search View"];
       screen.internalSearch = [[InternalSearch alloc] initWithKeyword: @"Keyword" resultScreenNumber:1];
       [screen sendView];
   }
   
   @end
2. Result clic tagging
   • Swift
   • Objective-C

   // SearchViewController.swift
   
   override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
       let gesture = tracker.gestures.add("SearchLabel")
       gesture.internalSearch = InternalSearch(keyword: "keywordLabel", resultScreenNumber: 1)
       gesture.internalSearch?.resultPosition = 5
       gesture.sendSearch()
   }

   // SearchViewController.m
   
   - (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
   {
        Gesture *gesture = [self.tracker.gestures add:@"SearchLabel"];
        InternalSearch *internalSearch = [[InternalSearch alloc] initWithKeyword: @"Keyword" resultScreenNumber:1];
        internalSearch.resultPosition = 5;
        gesture.internalSearch = internalSearch;
        [gesture sendSearch];
   }
