Dietrich: are you still interested in this data?

Blake/Hamilton:  Which of these questions can be answered through current data, and which ones need to be implemented as a new study?

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

I am interested, but am not working on anything at the moment that would utilize it immediately.

However, I'm cc'ing UX and Labs people that are working in this area. They may have additional questions and maybe be able to make more immediate use of it.

I posted some numbers from some initial data in bug 658120:
- average of 3.22 letters typed for users that did press ~1.23 downs
- 11.73 letters typed before hitting return (including 4 for .com)

I also tracked tab presses and switch to tab actions in the awesomebar hd study.

And the initial 2hour study seems pretty consistent with the 2day study:

43875 events "# down+ return"
3.247202279202279 letters typed before down
1.182928774928775 downs before return

163 events "# tab+ return"
3.6503067484662575 letters before tab
1.1840490797546013 tabs before return

161731 total keys urlbar events that end with return
61576 events that don't end with return (user clicked)

This *does not* have information about whether users just clicked the dropdown arrow and selected a result.

About 1/3 of the users who type then click type just 1 letter! (Though the data doesn't show what entry was selected.)
