the setting has changed in 13.10, it is now a declarative part of the .scope
file. Online searching lenses have to declare themselves as being online lenses
by using the RemoteContent=true flag in the .scope file. If that is set then
those lenses won't be queried when the privacy flag is set. This is now
documented in the tutorial.
http://developer.ubuntu.com/scopes/tutorial/
Please note that the default is false which is bug 1250134 so that a lens
author who does not include that line will automatically be assumed to be a
local lens and will be queried when the flag is set to local results only - so
by default online lenses will still ignore the flag - but it is now declarative
and external to the code of the lens, so this bug is fixed in Saucy.

lens privacy feature does not work on all lenses

Bug description:
In the system settings privacy area check the box to not return results from
internet searches
Install unity-lens-github from the extras repo
Observe a fully functional github searching lens.
By default lenses don't do anything with the privacy flag. They have
to be specially coded to look for it, and it is undocumented. There
are lenses getting into the distribution that don't respect the flag.
Maybe the ARB should check lenses observe the setting before allowing them
into extras.
Maybe the setting should be replaced with a more functional alternative that
doesn't require lenses to be modified - so it won't send them
global-search-change events so the lens *can't* send your global queries to the
internet because it doesn't see them happening.
