*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

You have been subscribed to a public security bug:

Go to System Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Files & Applications
Add the Public directory to the Exclude list.

Now choose a document that shows up in the dash. 
Move that document to the Public directory.
Open the dash.

Expected:
File is no longer visible or searchable in the dash

Actual:
File is visible in dash.
"Show in Folder" opens the Public directory, revealing the file.

Marking this as a security issue as it's part of the Security & Privacy
settings.
