OK quoting myself.

Poor user experience. This might be solvable.

The nature of concerns here is two folds:

1. Can users deactivate everything.me ? 
   Users can change the default search engine on Firefox Desktop. Users have 
the choice to never use or use only $SEARCH_ENGINE_BRAND if they wish so. 
That's a cool feature: Have the choice.

2. Change of expectations.
   A user which was using Firefox OS 1.0 to 1.3 could use the search feature of 
everything.me OR the browser URL bar. Now the user has only one bar which is 
sending data to a service which he/she didn't opt-in. (A bit what is happening 
with Spotlight on 10.10)


The issue is never to propose a feature. That is cool if people need it. The 
issue is more:
1. To make the feature without the choice to not deactivate it.
2. To change expectations on the sharing perimeter of a feature.


Does it make more sense? ^_^ (maybe my French is getting into the way).
