   According to !Ubuntu devs, the search thing is just to see if a google page or the search box in the corner get more use. Also: alpha-only.

     @maco: that sounds like a sane explanation -- but does that mean they are planning to remove one of those in !Ubuntu ?

     @janc: Quite possibly. Mozilla is doing a ton of research into that same fact so I imagine they're working with Mozilla on usability.

     @maco It's none of their business which I use more. How's #Canonical really diff from #Microsoft if they're making #Firefox their own #IE?

     @lunisneko It's called usability testing

     @janc i suppose, or help upstream Firefox with their decisions regarding the ways they are changing search. Also on whether new tabs blank

     @furicle I don't believe Google custom search is very customizable style-wise, so they probably *couldn't* add an explanation to the results

     @cryzed Indeed, but If this really is the community project Canonical claims it to be, then I'll speak my piece loud as I can, y'know?
