Cool how Shuttleworth also apologized for the tea party remark. Seemed kind of wrong for him to make it. Too bad he didn't address the gist of the fixubuntu site though, he didn't even link to it I think. Avoiding making the Streisand effect worse? Maybe he's already addressed the privacy issues?

- mdeslaur 13y agoThere's no way to make a global search box on par with iOS, Android, OS X and Windows without sending the search string to a central server. The box is marked "search your computer and online sources", there are other search boxes in the dash to search locally, and there is a simple toggle switch to turn off the online portion in the privacy applet in the system settings. The commands on the fixubuntu site are unnecessary, the simple toggle switch in the privacy applet solves the problem for people who want to disable online access in the global search box.
