One solution is pretty straightforward: make online search features an
option in the installer (same page as third-party codecs) with a link
to the privacy policy etc.

How about a 'first run' screen similar to CentOS/Redhat installer except
for each user that is created? You could page through some choices like
country/codecs/advert choices/main use of device/ etc and the relevant
country specific legal stuff could appear on each page.
I suspect once the lawyers get going (privacy laws being
different in different countries and for different age groups) we will
need to have some kind opt in agreement anyway, so why not make it tidy
and user friendly for those not in the know about stuff like this?
that sounds annoying
The other issue is perhaps more personal to me: it just seems a *waste*
somehow of bandwidth (I know, a few bytes in the firehose &c) and of
server cycles (yes, I know, microscopic) to generate 'suggestions' for
search terms like 'alf*19960401*crbok*.odt' or 'data*mean*sd' or
similar. I'm not thinking about buying things when I'm searching for
documents. Amazon don't have a profile to filter against previous
purchases so the suggestions will be low quality and unspecific anyway.
that is why you can click on the specific lens you want to search in to
focus your search. If you want to search just in the documents lens
then do that, if you want to fire your search across a heap of places
then you can search in the home lens. Not all lenses will support
wildcard searches.
