Oh I didn't realize you were waiting for that. "Unity 7.1" meaning the 100 scopes feature has been in Saucy for a while but the versioning was confusing.

Unity 7.1, as part of the 100 Scopes initiative, adds many more scopes and allows for scopes to be individually disabled without installing them. The UI/UX for this is pretty bad though. 1. Open the Dash 2. Switch to the Applications lens 3. Click Filter Results 4. Select Search plugins 5. Select the scope you want to disable and click Disable A better way for discoverability and usability is to have the Privacy Settings' Search tab include the list of installed scopes with an on/off toggle switch next to them. The list of scopes can be found by recurisvely searching XDG_DATA_DIRS/unity/scopes/*.scope. If a scope is in a subdirectory, replace the / with a hyphen (for instance graphics/colourlovers.scope should be graphics-colourlovers.scope). A .scope is a modified .desktop so display the Name and Icon listed. If an icon isn't listed, you can fall back to displaying /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/service-generic.svg . To disable a scope, add its name to gsettings com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes. Optionally, you can extend the basic enabling/disabling interface to allow choosing which scopes should always be searched and which should show up by default in the Home lens. Also optionally, remove the Search plugins feature from unity-lens- applications. See also the final mockup on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityAndPrivacySettings for a proposed Ubuntu mobile version of this.
