Google Instant Search Keywords may be wrong #2634

Description

@chrisjung-dev

Since I had some colleague doing a favor for me, I have discovered a bug in distinction between "normal" search and instant search (not the preview).

He was searching for a way to reset the password of his media player ("dreambox password 800"), using Return to search (kind of "reflex" I tend to use quite often, too).

Then he searched for "sencha touch" without hitting Return-Key and clicked my blog (that's why I have his hit with the title of a post about mobile frameworks in my stats).

In fact: The piwik-Entry tells, that he entered the site by searching for "dreambox password 800", which is in fact wrong.

I file this as major because it means, that we can't trust at least the google keyword stats since Google Instant is getting used by default from Google where applicable.
