Thanks for the heads up.

The last time the search options were played with (during the dev
cycle, not on release) there was a mini-uproar. One point which was
raised and never (as far as I can tell) answered, was the question of
the data being sent from $search_provider to Canonical.

Other than revenue data, what specific data about our users is going
to be sent back from Yahoo/Google to Canonical?

Cheers,
