DIEP (not many dangerous extensions turned on 800p3) :

Statistics Qsearch totally 8546273 nodes from which 4925054 firstply leafs

So for 10 ply that was:
  total nodes      = 1739836
  qsearch total    = 1399426
  qsearch firstply = 843153

That means that in
total 1399426 - 843153 = 556273 nodes in qsearch after ply1

Which means that the total moves tried in qsearch as % from total
nodes =>  556273 * 100% / 1399426 = 40%
