Title:
Introduce World Lens vs Home Lens
Status in Ayatana Design:
New
Status in Unity:
Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Previously the Home lens searched a "local" context on one's personal
computer. The shopping lens, and other lenses leverage online
searches to provide additional potentially relevant results, but in
cases where they integrate with the home lens they violate the
expectation of privacy established by the previous local search
context. They also violate the expectation of privacy that one
associated with a "home".
This could be resolved by introducing the concept of a "world" lens in
addition to a home lens, and a switch to select which is the default
search performed in the Dash. The "world lens" would provide online
results, whereas the home lens would always perform local searches.
A UI mockup of this feature is provided in "How to Fix" > "Step 2" of
