Ubuntu since version 12.01 does send the text of your local searches to
Canonical which in turn relays them to Amazon so that online Amazon
search results will be displayed on your machine when you search for
anything within Unity.
Anyway you go to system settings/privacy and there you have a toggle to
disable the relay of information. You cannot compare that though with
what MS does when it opens your machine to the NSA and other gvt
agencies (you have no toggle there to disable it).

Ubuntu does too, although I'm guessing you use a different distro.
Ubuntu does too, what?
Not an Ubu user, what are they up to?
Mostly I'm a Fedora, RedHat and CentOS user.
