What

The Search tab of Web analytics was hard to read:

  • Position was cut off both tables, and names were truncated to about 18 characters with empty space beside them.
  • Rows tied on clicks fell back to alphabetical order. On a young site most queries have zero clicks, so a query with 146 impressions sat below 25 queries with one.
  • Page rows were two lines tall to repeat the same host, and each table ran up to 100 rows with no cap.
  • Top pages and Landing pages showed the same rows twice.

Tables

  • Queries and Pages are full-width cards built on the same kit as the Overview breakdown cards: a share bar per row, a pinned head over a capped row area, a filter box, and Expand table (the page's existing dialog, with rank numbers and every column).
  • Pages takes over the landing pages read, which already carries Google's four metrics. The separate Top pages table and its request are gone from the tab. Sessions, Bounce and Conversions sit beside Google's columns, ruled off as Maple's own.
  • Rows are one line. Zeros read quieter, the sorted column stands out, and a page names its host only when most pages are on another one. Page rows open the page in a new tab.
  • Narrow cards drop CTR and Position, then Maple's columns; the dialog keeps them all and scrolls sideways on a phone.
  • The tables keep table, row and cell roles and announce their sort, as the <table> they replace did.

Ranking

Rows tied on the sorted metric now rank by impressions (by clicks under an impressions sort) before the name, in the warehouse ORDER BY and in the page merge. The MCP Search Console tools read through the same queries and get the same order.

Tiles and chart

  • The four tiles use the Overview tab's grid (two columns when the filter rail leaves little room) and pick what the chart draws: Clicks, Impressions, CTR or Avg position.
  • The traffic chart spec gains an optional valueFormat so a labelled series can read as a percentage or with one decimal. The Overview chart does not set it and draws as before.
  • With several properties the picker is the title, instead of the title with the same picker under it.

Failures

  • Every read failing the same way is one error with one Try again, not four stacked.
  • A failed reload keeps the rows it already had.
  • A sort that fails inside the expanded table says so in the dialog.

Empty states and finding the tab

  • Not connected was a small block in an empty page, beside an event rail with nothing to filter. It now uses the integration pages' waiting-room card with Google's mark, says what the tab will show (Queries, Pages, Trend), and notes the access is read-only. On a phone the connect card comes before the feature cards. Revoked, no property picked and first import use the same card.
  • The event rail stays away while there is no imported property.
  • A window Google reported nothing for was four hollow cards. It is one explanation now: Google's numbers arrive 2 to 3 days late, so a short window carried over from another tab ("Last 24 hours") is always empty. It offers Show the last month.
  • From Overview: the Referrers card counts the sessions Google's search sent (Gmail and other Google products excluded) and links to the Search tab: "Connect Search Console" until a property is imported, "See what they searched" after. Nothing shows when Google sent no sessions. This costs one extra read on Overview loads, the Search Console connection status (a Postgres read, not a warehouse query).

Kit

  • metricGrid and METRIC_TILE in stat-rail.ts (moved out of the Overview tab, now used by both tabs).
  • expandTableFooter in page/kit (replaces two inline copies in the breakdown and AI cards).
  • dataTable and columnHead take isTable for table semantics; columnHead takes a className.
  • The titled card the AI tab used moves to analytics/view-panel.ts and is shared with the Search tab. Its hint now wraps beside the aside instead of pushing it to a second line.

Not in this PR

  • The searchConsoleTopPages endpoint, its registry query and topSearchPages are now unused by the dashboard. They stay for this release so tabs still open on the old bundle keep working; removing them is a follow-up.
  • The filter matches the rows already loaded (the top 100), not every query in the warehouse.

Verification

  • New lab /lab/analytics-search renders the real tab over fixtures with no API. Sorting, the tiles, the filters and the property picker work; ?state= gives conversions, history, loading, empty, recent, error, partial, importing, disconnected, revoked, unpicked, and overview / overview-connected for the Overview tab's pointer. Every screenshot above comes from it.
  • tsrs --noEmit in apps/web, packages/views, packages/query-engine, packages/backend and packages/web-data.
  • oxlint with .oxlintrc.effect.json on the touched folders, ui:index:check, ui:patterns:check, ui:css:check, check:tokens, lint:ui-baseline (unchanged at 687).
  • Vitest: apps/web/src/page/analytics (59 tests; the scene tests gain tile picking, filtering, host naming, conversions, the single shared failure, the failed reload, the failed sort in the dialog, the connect on-ramp, the hidden rail, the empty window and its way out, and the Overview pointer), packages/views chart definitions (new tooltip format test), packages/query-engine Search Console queries and the SQL baseline (only the three ORDER BY lines change), packages/backend page merge (new tie-break test).
  • Two review passes over the diff (correctness, conventions and simplification); their findings are fixed in this branch.

The Search tab cut its Position column off, truncated names at a few
letters, listed up to 100 two-line rows per table, and ranked every
row tied on clicks alphabetically, so a query with 146 impressions sat
below 25 with one.

Tables
- Queries and Pages are full-width cards on the Overview breakdown
  kit: a share bar per row, a pinned head over a capped row area, a
  filter box and the Expand table dialog.
- Pages takes over the landing pages read, which already carries
  Google's four metrics, so the separate Top pages table and its read
  are gone from the tab. Sessions, bounce and conversions sit beside
  them, ruled off as Maple's own.
- Rows are one line. Zeros read quieter, the sorted column stands out,
  and a page names its host only when most pages are on another.
- The tables keep table, row and cell roles and announce their sort.

Ranking
- Rows tied on the sorted metric rank by impressions (by clicks under
  an impressions sort) before the name, in the warehouse query and in
  the page merge.

Tiles and chart
- The four tiles sit in the Overview tab's grid and pick what the
  chart draws. The traffic chart spec gains a value format for CTR and
  average position.

Failures
- Every read failing the same way is one error with one retry; a
  failed reload keeps the rows it had; a failed sort inside the dialog
  says so there.

`/lab/analytics-search` renders the tab over fixtures in every state.

Walkthrough

The Search Console analytics page now presents selectable metrics and filterable Queries and Pages tables. Pages use landing-page data, and search results use secondary-metric tie-breaks. The change also adds shared analytics UI components, chart formatting options, product documentation, and a fixture-backed Search lab.

Changes: Search Console analytics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Search data contract and reads
apps/web/src/page/analytics/{command,message,model,requests,update}.ts, packages/web-data/src/warehouse/search-console.ts
The Search page removes the separate top-pages read and uses landing-page data for Pages. Its requests apply the selected Pages sort and event filter.
Search result ordering
packages/backend/src/services/integrations/google-search-console/landing-pages*, packages/query-engine/src/ch/queries/search-console*, packages/query-engine/src/__sql_baseline__/catalog.sql
Query and page results use a descending secondary metric before the name tie-break. Tests cover the ordering.
Shared analytics panels and table primitives
apps/web/src/page/analytics/{view-panel,view-expand,view-breakdown,view-ai*,view-overview}.ts, apps/web/src/page/kit/{data-table,expand-table-footer,stat-rail}.ts, packages/views/src/ui/INDEX.md
Shared panel, table-footer, metric-grid, and table accessibility helpers are added or updated. AI panels and the overview use shared helpers, and the expand dialog supports Search tables.
Search metrics and tables
apps/web/src/page/analytics/{search-metrics,view-search,view-search-chart}.ts, apps/web/src/page/analytics/search.scene.test.ts, apps/landing/src/content/docs/product-events/web-analytics.md
The Search view adds selectable metric tiles and trends, filterable Queries and Pages tables, expanded table dialogs, and loading, empty, and error states. Tests and documentation cover the updated view.
Fixture-backed Search lab
apps/web/src/lab/analytics-search*, apps/web/src/lab/entries/analytics-search.ts, apps/web/src/lab/registry.ts
A Search lab route uses fixture data for populated, empty, loading, error, partial, disconnected, importing, and history scenarios.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 65ae8

Changing tabs, for example with browser back, while an expanded Search table is open can leave the page locked behind the dialog until reload. The CTR and position trend charts also draw lines across days with no data. The lab and test issues do not affect production. Fix the dialog close handling before merging.

Explanation

The title "feat(analytics): rework the Search tab's tables, tiles and ranking" matches the main change. The PR reworks the Search tab in the Web analytics page. It replaces the Top pages table with a Pages table on the landing-pages read, adds full-width filterable Queries and Pages tables with expand dialogs, and adds selectable metric tiles that drive the chart. It also changes tie-break ordering in the query-engine and landing-pages code, which the title covers as "ranking". The title is concise and specific, and it follows a conventional commit format.

560-561: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Exercise the Event-filter request in this test.

populated() creates an unfiltered model. This test injects conversions: 17 without selecting an event, so it does not test the Event-filter request contract. Initialize an event filter, assert that the emitted landing-page request contains conversionEvent, then settle that request and check the column and value. This will detect a regression in the request wiring, not only conversion rendering. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comments at @apps/web/src/lab/analytics-search-lab.ts:
- Line 131: Update answerOf so its overview, queries, pages, and trend match the
selected Search Console property, using consistent fixtures for every selectable
property; alternatively, restrict property selection to properties represented
by the fixtures. Ensure the selected property’s siteUrl determines which lab
data is returned.
- Line 260: Update the routeChanged command handling so a selected preset
resolves model.window against the fixture clock and answers the resulting reads
instead of dropping the window-resolution command through lift(moved.commands);
if the lab cannot represent a preset, prevent it from being offered. Ensure the
header selection and displayed data stay in sync.
- Line 250: Update the analytics lab’s update handling around
settle(model.state, step.model) so Reload simulates the window-resolution read
and delivers CompleteReloadSpin. Preserve the normal model-settling flow, and
ensure the completion clears the pending reload state so the Reload control no
longer remains pending.

Review comments at @apps/web/src/page/analytics/update.ts:
- Around line 246-260: In routeChanged, preserve the commands returned by
Dialog.close when a cross-tab switch closes the expand dialog; combine them with
the route step’s existing commands in both the resolve and requestAll branches
so the dialog’s exit transition can settle.

Review comments at @apps/web/src/page/analytics/view-search-chart.ts:
- Line 38: Update the Search handling in buildAnalyticsTraffic within the shared
analytics-traffic definition so zero-impression nulls remain gaps for both CTR
and position, without changing bridging behavior for other readings or modifying
seriesRuns globally. Add a regression case for [7, null, 8] that verifies both
CTR and position lines break at the null.

…rom Overview

Not connected was a small block in an empty page beside a filter rail
with nothing to filter, a connected property with nothing in the window
drew four hollow cards, and nothing outside the tab pointed at it.

- Not connected, revoked, no property and first import use the
  integration pages' waiting-room card with Google's mark. Not
  connected also says what the tab will show, and on a phone the way
  to connect comes first.
- The event rail stays away while there is no imported property.
- A window Google reported nothing for is one explanation: its numbers
  arrive 2 to 3 days late, so a short window carried over from another
  tab is empty. It offers the last month.
- The Overview's Referrers card counts the sessions Google's search
  sent and links to the Search tab, where Search Console connects.
  The Overview reads the connection status for it.

A tab change closed the expand dialog but dropped the dialog's own exit
commands, so its leave transition never settled and the page stayed
inert and scroll-locked behind it. The commands now go out with the
route step.

The lab answers the page's window resolve and Reload spin from its
fixture clock, so Reload and a range change complete there, and its
second property returns a smaller site instead of the first one's rows.

Maple review

🟢 Confidence 10/10 · safe to merge. The rewritten Search tab is contained and each new path is pinned by a scene test; only the table layout at narrow panel widths has no test.
no findings · tests covered · risk medium

Reworks the Search tab onto the Overview kit: shared tiles that pick the charted metric, query and page tables with a sort-aware read, one card per failure, and a quiet-window explanation. The new paths read consistently and are tested.

  • kpis tiles now select the trend metric through PickedSearchMetric, charted by searchTrendChart
  • Pages table reads searchLanding; searchOrderOf keeps name out of sortBy
  • tableFallback and sharedFailure merge loading, empty and failed reads into one state
  • isGoogleSearchHost adds the Overview referrers note linking to the Search tab
