Ali, Its not a rumor, the Unity interface submits all of what you type into Unity Search to Amazon. This returns both local results and advertising. Say you are searching for "Life is a Highway" looking for a song in your library. It will return those results as well as the results as if you went to Amazon and did the same search on their website.
