The demo has what looks like a search box which isn't actually a search box, it's a dropdown. Very confusing to me. ~~~~

Yes – though I could easily use it, I even referred to it as "search box" already in conversations already (On the other hand, with many metrics to choose from it might make sense for it to be more like a search box and at least allow text input to get suggestions)

Do you mean the Wiki search box or the Explore Topics one? In the wiki one you can select and erase the text and search with auto-complete, we'll make that more obvious in the real version. In the Explore Topics one, you're right, I should've made that auto-complete too.

For me it was the "Explore Topics" box. Long input field and right hand "go"-button makes it a bit search-y, I assume.

Ah! Sorry, yes, that's totally supposed to be a search box in the final version, it's just like this now for the prototype.
