Public bug reported:

As reported on #ubuntu IRC channel -

At present, searching for "gedit" in the dash on 15.10 brings up sexually 
explicit images from Wikipedia -

Whilst online searching is going to be disabled by default on 16.04,
consideration must be given to disabling online search by default on
older releases. This is not the first bug to be filed about this topic,
but may be unique in that (a) the search was for a default Ubuntu
package, and (b) the returned images were particularly explicit.

** Affects: unity-lens-shopping (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
