If we could get something that reads the searches and tabulates the most 
frequently not found articles, we could better target our account creation 
efforts.

I've been suggesting on wikien-l something like trying to work out,
with actual numbers, what article readers would reasonably be
expecting where. This led to suggesting an idea on wikitech-l on how
to gather internal referer logs (where people go from one article to
another, or what searches lead to what articles) in a way that won't
breach privacy. Such information would be of great general use in
seeing what readers actually want and do, rather than attempting to
guess. So it's far from a fruitless discussion.
