Google Search App Referrer android-app://com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

[Kunihiro_Sasaki]

I've found our eVar/prop for raw referrers showing unfamiliar value "android-app://com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox".
However, default "Referrer" doesn't count such value at all.
The value of "Referrer Type" broke down by this raw referrer is "Typed/Bookmarked". 

I discovered this is the value of referrer of Google Search App traffic.
Then is it appropriate to deal it as "No Referrer"? Should we treat it as search traffic?

Hi @Kunihiro - I found this today as well. Here's the latest updates from Adobe which describe them now supporting the referring information from Mobile Apps.
