Title:
  Introduce World Lens vs Home Lens

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Previously the Home lens searched a "local" context on one's personal
  computer.  The shopping lens, and other lenses leverage online
  searches to provide additional potentially relevant results, but in
  cases where they integrate with the home lens they violate the
  expectation of privacy established by the previous local search
  context.  They also violate the expectation of privacy that one
  associated with a "home".

  This could be resolved by introducing the concept of a "world" lens in
  addition to a home lens, and a switch to select which is the default
  search performed in the Dash.  The "world lens" would provide online
  results, whereas the home lens would always perform local searches.

  A UI mockup of this feature is provided in "How to Fix" > "Step 2" of
