Name of API affected:
Analytics Data Export API

Request summary:
Be able to replicate portal's "% search refinements" using API
According to Nick, the calculation should be
ga:searchRefinements / "Searches"

Yet the API currently does not expose a "Searches" metric, so you can
not derive this calculated metric through the API.  

Use Cases:
Replicate capability of portal

This can now be done with the updates in the 2011-01 release: 
http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/changelog.html

You can now query for ga:searchRefinements and ga:searchResultView then divide 
the two.

We decided to not release a new calculated metric because we think the 
calculation actually is not what most people think it is.

Removing an obsolete label that was used when these issues were in the
