This is a screenshot of what you get when you type something with no local hits. I was trying to get to a package manager in a fresh install of Quantal beta 2 yesterday, typed "packages", and got this. A screen full of 24 ads. I did not click "more suggestion". You get fewer ads if you actually

This is certainly not a duplicate of bug #1054746. I just tested that change in Ubutnu 12.10 beta and it's an all or nothing solution. Flick this new switch to OFF, the Video Lense and Music Lense results become local only, no longer searching YouTube or the Music Store like it does now in 12.04,.
