Bug Description

The file <file:///usr/share/unity-control-center/searchingthedashlegalnotice.html> that we distribute with unity-control-center contains a link to <http://www.ubuntu.com/privacypolicy/thirdparties> that now 404s.

It also refers to "Unless you have opted out (see the “Online Search” section below)" and "You may restrict your dash so that we don’t send searches to third parties and you don't receive online search results" that could do with being refreshed given our changes to disable online search by default.

Correct URL is: http://www.ubuntu.com/privacy-policy/third-parties

I think the legal text blurb should be a different bug.

14/01 12:03:16 <willcooke> Laney, I've sent an amended text over to legal, will add to that bug when I get it back again...

thanks a lot Will! :)

Once we hear back I'll do a merge proposal for both changes in one, to minimise effort.
