Ubuntu's multisearch surprise violates Google's Terms of Service too

(much time spent, trying to find actual link)

Above is the closest match I could find.

Basically, it is OK for them to do this via a 'default homepage' but <em>NOT</em> via a software program (i.e. the search box).

I reported the issue to Google - but who knows if my message went anywhere interesting.

Totally annoying update, poorly justified, and poorly done.
