[Bug 1054746] Re: [FFe] [UIFe] No easy way to disable (results from) this lens

 

** Summary changed:

- No easy way to disable (results from) this lens
+ [FFe] [UIFe] No easy way to disable (results from) this lens

** Description changed:

+ We will add an option either in the appearance or privacy gnome-control-
+ center panel (this is yet to be discussed with design).
+ 
+ This Commercial/Online suggestions on/off switch enables to remove all suggestions in the dash and default lenses:
+ - shopping lens suggestions in the home dash
+ - available apps in the software-center in the app lens
+ - u1 music store result in the music lens
+ - u1 results in the video lens
+ 
+ All components and libunity are impacted by the change, as well as
+ gnome-control-center. A couple of new strings will be added to the
+ latest for the option.
+ 
+ ------------
+ 
  The fact that this lens is installed by default means that users are
  shown commercial content as search results by default in the home
  screen, and that search queries are sent to an external (to the user)
  server. It's reasonable that one might want to turn this behaviour off.
  While it is possible to uninstall the package, this isn't a particularly
  intuitive route for most.
  
  Other lenses have a 'Filter results' item, which would solve this if on
  the home screen. Otherwise, an option somewhere in the control centre
  (privacy?) would be good.

Bug description:
  We will add an option either in the appearance or privacy gnome-
  control-center panel (this is yet to be discussed with design).

  This Commercial/Online suggestions on/off switch enables to remove all suggestions in the dash and default lenses:
  - shopping lens suggestions in the home dash
  - available apps in the software-center in the app lens
  - u1 music store result in the music lens
  - u1 results in the video lens

  All components and libunity are impacted by the change, as well as
  gnome-control-center. A couple of new strings will be added to the
  latest for the option.

  screen, and that search queries are sent to an external (to the user)
  server. It's reasonable that one might want to turn this behaviour
