1. Is the common terms query work supposed to address zero results rate
or…? Don't we have a system now for running old queries through the engine
and seeing whether the change affected the ZRR? If the test is not
dependent on the user's actions, we don't need to do an A/B test that
involves users.

2. We finally have a couple of ways of assessing user engagement with our
search results (more on that in an announcement later today). If this work
is meant to address that, then we need to run an A/B test, but include the
TestSatisfaction2 schema (or a variant of it that also tracks the grouping).
