Yes, the binary blobs are a big problem but unfortunately this discussion is
framed poorly (typical Shuttleworth)

How bout freedom?

Searching in the dash
When you enter a search term into the dash Ubuntu will search your Ubuntu
computer and will record the search terms locally. Unless you have opted out
(see the “Online Search” section below), we will also send your
keystrokes as a search term to productsearch.ubuntu.com and selected third
parties so that we may complement your search results with online search
results from such third parties including: Facebook, Twitter, BBC and Amazon.
