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!
Regarding adding Google Analytics (GA) logic in the hitbox content -- since the hitbox component (in a skin) falls below the core Lithium javascript, you should be fine putting your GA code there (that's what it's meant for in fact). I peronsally haven't worked with GA, but if you have specific questions about how to get GA working in the hitbox, ask them here, as other members of the LDN team have worked with it (I know YuriK has some experience with it).
Regarding your suggestion (about adding support in the Lithium Admin Metrics for differenciating between when the "Auto-suggest click-throughs" are coming through the Ask a Question Search component vs. the nav bar search component), I think that's a good idea and encourage you to submit it as an idea in our product ideas board (if you haven't done so already) -- let me know if you have and I'll give it a kudo to help vote it up.
