Cool write up! On the topic of "wiki" queries (adding "wiki" or "wikipedia" to a query to get more results from Wikipedia), I saw just under 3% of queries <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:TJones_(WMF)/Notes/Why_People_Use_Search_Engines#Wiki_terms> from Google (among those with recoverable query strings) had some wiki terms in them. That's queries, not users, so I'm guessing a lot of people do it (I do it!).
*Daisy,* the next to last slide, "Research Recoomendations", is chopped off on the right side, and the last line of each bullet seems to be in a smaller font.
