I'm not sure exactly where to post this, but I have a site where the user navigates to the home page URL and the rest is all js and AJAX. It works very well for this site (http://gemmy.calicowebdev.com) because its sole purpose is to allow people to search for Ruby gems -- nothing else. So most of what Google Analytics does in terms of measuring where on the site people roost is wasted. But it's useful to know how long they are on the site and so on.
All searching is done incrementally with a periodic updater watching an input element. The searches can be somewhat meaningless and don't necessarily correspond to "clicks" in the typical Web sense of the word. Say, for example, someone is looking for any Ruby gem that will help them create the next great YouTube mashup. They go to my nifty (if I do say so myself) site and they type: y-o-u-t By this time, they probably have a sufficiently precise result set that they're on their way someplace else. I guess what I'm asking in a pretty roundabout way is: Is this worth measuring in the first place and have any of you applied any metrics to anything similar?
