[Jeremy Bicha <jbicha@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Scott, we've been discussing this in #ubuntu-desktop. It's not as easy
to disable all online results, and someone who wants to use the social
networking integration (Gwibber lens, photo lens, even Google docs scope
for files lens) but not the "ads" doesn't have a way to do that easily
in the GUI.

** Summary changed:

- [FFe] [UIFe] No easy way to disable online results in lenses
+ [FFe] [UIFe] No easy way to disable sponsored results in lenses

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.

  see on comment #12 the screenshot of the privacy settings dash panel. This one is in gnome-control-center (but the source is activity-log-manager for it).
  The additional strings are:

  #: ../src/activity-log-manager.vala:57
  msgid "Search Results"
  msgstr ""

  #: ../src/searchresults-widget.vala:60
  #, c-format
  msgid "When searching in the Dash:"
  msgstr ""

  #: ../src/searchresults-widget.vala:67
  #, c-format
  msgid "Include commercial suggestions from Ubuntu partners."
  msgstr ""

  See screenshot in comment #18

  ------------

  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.
