The Dash search function of Ubuntu 12.10 introduces search results from Amazon, which raises questions about user privacy leaks. Both the EFF and FSF have issued criticism and warnings. Now Canonical has finally begun to partially solve this problem. Ubuntu developers have adjusted Dash to allow users to disable and enable network queries. However, Canonical also shows that it does not intend to disable network queries by default according to EFF and FSF requirements.

 
Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth also said they would allow users to read the legal terms more easily: this feature is enabled by default, the user will by default agree to send each button in Dash to productsearch.ubuntu.com and third parties such as Facebook, Twitter, BBC, and Amazon to present the key-related products to the user.
