Every single thing you type in the search bar is sent to Google or whoever they have done the search deal. Ubuntu used to do the exact same thing with Amazon, its an affiliate link and does not 'display ads', that is complete FUD. Please understand the issues before commenting. It's a search scope for amazon so you can get amazon search results in the unity search bar if desired. Firefox has also done a privacy busting ad deal with Cliqz where user's browsing history is sent to cliqz servers for targeted advertising. This is even worse for user privacy.
