You have been subscribed to a public bug: Previously the Home lens searched a "local" context on one's personal computer. The shopping lens, and other lenses leverage online searches to provide additional potentially relevant results, but in cases where they integrate with the home lens they violate the expectation of privacy established by the previous local search context. They also violate the expectation of privacy that one associated with a "home".
This could be resolved by introducing the concept of a "world" lens in addition to a home lens, and a switch to select which is the default search performed in the Dash. The "world lens" would provide online results, whereas the home lens would always perform local searches.
