Title:
  Amazon accounts should be included in "Online Accounts", and Amazon
  search results should only appear when Amazon accounts are present.

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Generally speaking, online content is only indexed when an associated
  account has been added to Ubuntu under (All Settings > Online
  Accounts).  Why is it that Amazon is treated differently?

  Ubuntu should provide the ability to add an Amazon account, as well as
  other onine purchasing accounts, and only display products in the
  search results if these accounts are present and activated.

  Having online accounts for the shopping lens would align much better with the existing lens functionality:
  - It would allow users to opt-in.
  - It would probably provide better search results based on previous purchases.
  - It scales better with other online shopping sites.
