Description

In HawkSearch, each search event logged in the Tracking Events Preview includes detailed request information. This includes the search type, which helps identify how the user performed the search, such as keyword search, concept search, image/visual search, or unified search.

The Request Details section of the event log will display the search type under the RequestType field, along with relevant parameters like Keyword or ImageData (for visual searches). This allows you to better understand your user's behavior and the context of each search query.
