Identification of content gaps based on relative user-selection rates between multiple discrete content sources. A system analyzes search log activity to determine whether users that are conducting particular types of search activities are ultimately selecting and relying upon content resources from a predefined content source of interest or, alternatively, whether such users are unsatisfied with the predefined content source of interest and are instead relying upon other third-party content sources. This particular type of analysis provides valuable insights into whether content gaps exist within the predefined content source of interest.

An electronic system and method of operating electronic software applications such as spreadsheets provides help with formulas and other software functions. The system provides the user with a list of model examples upon request, and responds to a user selection of a model by creating both a model formula or control and model data upon which the formula or control is calculated or may act. The model is editable by the user, so that they may better understand the function being illustrated and use it with their own data.
