Attaching Google Event Tracking to AutoComplete search results

I'm working with Google Analtics event tracking. I have 2 questions.   1. If I trigger google analytics events from within the Page HitBox content, will this work okay with how Lithium is set up? D...

The data from our new Ask a Question Search component is starting to come in: http://screencast.com/t/TvtOhUutF0U. 

 

Explaining the screenshot: 

Focus = when a user focuses on the input to search

postByClick = when a user clicks the "Ask the Community" button, thereby creating a post

postByKey = when a user keys "Return" from the input, thereby creating a post

 

The major data point missing is how many ClickThroughs to suggested content! Tips welcomed. In lieu of native Lithium event tracking, it would be great to get this figured out.

 

As an interim solution, it would be great if we could tell in the Lithium Admin Metrics when the "Auto-suggest click-throughs" are coming through the Ask a Question Search component vs. the nav bar search component (screenshot of 2 components). 

 

Thanks in advance, Lithium!

AndrewF Happy Friday! Any word from LDN members about how track this? The Lithium community mailer reminded me to check in on this post. The ability to measure the effectiveness of the article suggestions is pretty key for us. Thanks!
