a statistic I'd be interested in: what percentage of searches can be answered computationally cheap. As in: Wikipedia title index, simple word lookup dictionaries. Indices that could complement a caching search-engine proxy to not hit its origin crawl repository.
A study[1] by wikipedia done with DDG notes it showed up in the top5 results and information module for ~13% of searches with a click-through rate for each at ~8% - so a total of ~16% click-through rate. Granted, that is not a number gained from title searches but the whole articles.
