Title:
  [system settings] Disabling scope online search in systemsettings
  makes it impossible to install new apps

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Committed
Status in unity-scope-click package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The heated discussions regarding the online search capabilities in the
  Dash have led to the possibility to disable that in through
  systemsettings which many people use.

  On Touch, this introduces the problem that a user cannot
  browse/install any new apps any more. I think there is the need to
  have a dedicated application for the app store which allows to find
  and install new apps without having to enable full Dash online search
  capabilities.

  -----------------------------------------
  Desired resolution:

  - In the new Unity8 Dash architecture, there is no longer a global
  search, users choose which lens they would like to search before
  performing a search.  This means the issue privacy issue from Unity7
  is no longer present, therefore this setting can be removed from
  System Settings.
