You've almost certain configured your proxy wrong if you only configure
it for your interactive login session.  Many processes involved do not
run as interactive login commands.  See
http://superuser.com/questions/183870/difference-between-bashrc-and-
bash-profile for a more in-depth treatment.

The right way to set up a proxy is to open your Systems Settings panel,
go to Network Settings, and select the Network Proxy pane.  Choose the
Manual Method and enter your settings there.

  Online search behind proxy does not return results

Bug description:
  I am behind my college authenticated proxy which I have configured in
  `~/.bashrc` file as follows:

  export proxy=http://username:password@host:port_no/
  export http_proxy=http://username:password@host:port_no/
  export ftp_proxy=ftp://username:password@host:port_no/
  export https_proxy=https://username:password@host:port_no/
  export socks_proxy=socks://username:password@host:port_no/
  export HTTP_PROXY=http://username:password@host:port_no/
  export FTP_PROXY=ftp://username:password@host:port_no/
  export HTTPS_PROXY=https://username:password@host:port_no/
  export SOCKS_PROXY=socks://username:password@host:port_no/
  export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1,127.0.1.1

  I did not find any configuration file for dash in which I can
  configure proxy. However, I am not able to perform online search
  videos on youtube for which I have installed lens using the
  instructions given here: http://askubuntu.com/a/91381/72576

  I expected to get video results from youtube but no results were
  obtained.

  I posted a question on AskUbuntu but did not get answers, which I
  believe is because this is a bug- a feature request.
