[Bug 1054746] Re: [FFe] [UIFe] No easy way to disable online-fetched results in lenses

 

** Attachment added: "Hopefully real final design"
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-lens-shopping/+bug/1054746/+attachment/3348785/+files/privacy_dash.png

** Description changed:

  We will add an option in the Privacy panel of System Settings.
  
  This on/off switch enables to remove all internet connexion in any lens
  you have installed supporting the option (which are all lenses in the
  ubuntu repository).
  
  All lenses 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 #18 the screenshot of the privacy settings dash panel. This one is in gnome-control-center (but the source is activity-log-manager for it).
+ see on comment #27 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 online search results."
  msgstr ""
  
  ------------
  
  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 in the Privacy panel of System Settings.

  This on/off switch enables to remove all internet connexion in any
  lens you have installed supporting the option (which are all lenses in
  the ubuntu repository).

  All lenses components and libunity are impacted by the change, as well

  latest for the option.

  see on comment #27 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:"
