No for some reason I don't get any Overture for Hind whatsoever. I get it for Urdu in bucket fulls and we also get it on Thai.
Yahoo maybe big in India, but they have only recently indexed the Indic scripts and I suspect that any Hindi searches are not yet being recorded.

With IDN names, unless it is developed you may not get any typein traffic.
It will be very rare that people will type खोज.com, they will either enters खोज.कॉम or just खोज. |
As the IDN is intended to allow accessibility of the internet beyond the English Speaking Elite, and the requirement for this is recognised not only by The Indian Government, but also ICANN and all the major American Internet Companies, this is difficult to understand. If these domains are more accessible then they will get more traffic not less.
All bilingual keyboards enable you to switch, but never fear ICANN will soon make a decision on how to implement the Aliasing of Dot Com and other TLDs into not just Hindi, but probably about another dozen or so native scripts.
As for the order of languages posted. I find it a little absurd. You seem to understand that there will be a massive demand for terms comprehensible to Hindi speakers but denythat Hindi itself might provide a solution. You also seem to neglect the needs of the two thirds of Indians that do not speak Hindi.
