Comment 56 for bug 1073114

The problem isn't solved. I understood it like this:
Unity 8 will drop the Home Scope and therefore include a Scopes Scope. When pressing the meta key and typing something into the Dash in Unity 8 the input will be >>send<< to Canonical and then the Canonical server will return a list of Scopes the user might want to search further. In the end all input will still be send through the internet to Canonical. The only thing that would change is, that not all input would be send to e.g. Amazon... but still, the input leaves your computer what is IMHO a bad thing.
