Bug Description
The default ubuntu home page in firefox shows a google search with an ubuntu border. It does not make it clear to end users that the search is not the standard google search. A short explanation and a link to further information should be added to the default search page.
Also, the default home page is not local, it is on the ubuntu servers. Why is that? It could be local.
As we are in topic I also ask you to clarify if the launchpad cookie can be associated to the queries that users submit.

I have a few suggestions for questions that should be answered in the "further information" link:
* Is there a deal with Google that funds Ubuntu?
* Are the search results any different from plain Google (apparently they are), and why?
* Are the searches tracked?
