I can see both sides of the coin on this one. However, I feel that Ubuntu should be more transparent about their search/privacy policy and be upfront with users about having the option to disable the search function, if so desired.

Doesn't seem that bad to me. I could agree that it's against "the spirit" of
open source, but they've put a ton of time and money into promoting the
