Northrup, I'm not responsible for the Unity design nor am I really taking sides.
It's important to understand the Unity design if you want to influence those that do make the decisions. The design as I understand is that you should be able to open the Dash by either clicking the first button in the top left or pressing the Super key and find whatever you'd want to find. It should tell you the weather, it should give you movie results (whether downloaded to your computer, available for purchase, or even showing in movie theatres), apps (whether installed or not installed), etc. Fundamentally, that requires it to be a global search or universal search which requires sending data across the Internet. Because that design would generally be useful to average people and it is still somewhat unique (although Google Now or Siri are similar in some ways), it *will* be turned on by default. Since there is a fairly easy way to opt out in System Settings>Privacy, it doesn't seem like there is any actual action for Canonical or community developers to take on this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1054776 Title: Don't include remote searches in the home lens To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-lens-shopping/+bug/1054776/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
