Thanks for this list of possible metrics, lots of things to think about! We
don't yet collect enough data for all of these, but some of them we do. A
few potentially interesting tables:

Number of searches per session:

This isn't nearly all the things you mentioned, but a few that we have
collected data for already. Hopefully these and a few other metrics can
become part of how we measure what effect changes to search make.
