Reproduced in unity 3.6.8-0ubuntu3, unity-place-applications
0.2.42-0ubuntu2. Reopening.
** Changed in: unity-place-applications (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => New
** Description changed:
unity 3.6.6-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Natty
+ unity 3.6.8-0ubuntu3, Ubuntu Natty
0. Be a 14-year-old girl, or a schoolteacher preparing to show a film to your
class, or a businessperson preparing to give a presentation.
1. Click the "Applications" button.
2. Type "movie" to launch Movie Player.
What happens:
* Six applications appear, one of which is "PornView".
* There is no apparent way of preventing "PornView" from appearing as a
result, though it's not even installed.
What should happen:
* Only "Movie Player" and maybe "PiTiVi" appear.
This problem cannot be solved merely by renaming or blacklisting one
particular application. For example, a Saudi Ubuntu user might be
similarly annoyed that searching for "guide" returns "Xiphos Bible
Guide" as a result, when that's not installed either.
We can't realistically expect the entire Ubuntu software library to be
offense-free: as more independent applications are published, some
(especially games) will be targeted at mature audiences and/or be non-
worksafe, and that's fine. (We can introduce a maturity rating system
inside Ubuntu Software Center for those.) But people should be able to
expect that the launcher in Ubuntu's shell, of all things, *will* be
offense-free.
Both this bug and bug 733669 (about the search results being confusing)
can be fixed by restricting application search results only to those
applications that are actually installed.
