This is an example of what the App Store app shares with #Apple when you search for an app. Everything you type in the search field is recorded as an event and associated with your Apple ID before it is sent to Apple. When I search for "Google Authenticator," events are recorded as I type character by character. The leap between rows 78 and 79 is when I picked a suggestion. The timestamp of every event is recorded, i.e. Apple can calculate my typing speed 🙃.

@mysk Collecting data a user inputs into a form and never sends is evil, period. There is no excuse for it.
@freeagent @mysk it is required for "suggestion/completion" behavior though.
@kgbvax @mysk Yeah, which is why I turn that feature off if it's ever present. It seems Apple does not allow it to be turned off.
