You're being pretty vague, but my best guess is that you're referring
to the default setting for online search in the Dash.

Every week I talk on Mumble with some of my colleagues. When I get
halfway through typing "mumble" in the Dash, the Amazon results are
ubuntu-calendar all over again. You don't need to lecture me about
what the default setting should be.

That's why I specifically referred to features, not settings, and
implementing them, not just proposing them.

I reject both the premise that Canonical is not part of "the
community", and the premise that the EFF is. If the EFF spent even
half as much time contributing to Ubuntu as they've pretended to, we'd
all be better off.
