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
- 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.
