Its not an advanced search, but if its a one time thing, SQL works:
      select avg(length(Detailed_Decription)) from hpd_help_desk
note: yes the db name of the field is missing the 's' in description.
*sigh*

The only thing I can think of would be to export the data from the
notes field into excel.  Then you can use the LEN function to
calculate the number of characters in the notes field for each
record.  Add them up and divide by the number of records.
