[Bug 1422700] Re: 'Dash search' option makes no sense, and may be obsolete

 

>From memory, that model was rejected by design long ago because it makes
for a bad user experience: the first time someone runs a query on an
aggregator, they are confronted with a whole series of prompts. Also,
the scopes can't do that themselves because they don't have access to
the display. And it's difficult for the shell to do this, because the
shell can't know what child scopes are below an aggregator.

Bug description:
  ubuntu-touch/stable/bq-aquaris #17

  In system settings | Security & Privacy, there is a setting 'Dash
  Search', with the options 'phone only' and 'phone and internet'.

  This used to releate to whether remote searches were included by the
  managed dash when it searched the whole phone. It no longer does this,
  so this setting may be obsolete.

  Flipping it to phone only did not prevent scopes from searching the
  internet.

  Should this setting still exist?
