I sympathize with Iain's viewpoint, and I look forward to seeing whether <https://fixubuntu.com/> is updated to cover Ubuntu Touch. However, the breadth of the Dash in Ubuntu Touch makes a global Dash setting infeasible. If it existed and was set to local searches only, the Ubuntu Store, News, Today, and NearBy [sic] scopes would not work at all, and the Videos scope would usually be a wasteland. If those were standalone apps, as their equivalents are on other mobile platforms, then a Dash privacy setting would become feasible.
Anyway, this does not require any design work: for the reason I just described, I removed the "Dash search" setting from the design in April 2014. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityAndPrivacySettings?action=diff&rev2=39&rev1=38> (It's nice to be wanted, but the design specification is the #1 result in a Google search for "Ubuntu Security Privacy settings". If anyone has ideas for how to make it even easier for people to check the spec, before saying things like "Worth checking with mpt" or "this needs some sort of review by design", please let me know.) ** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Triaged ** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Assignee: Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) => (unassigned) ** No longer affects: ubuntu-ux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1422700 Title: 'Dash search' option makes no sense, and may be obsolete To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1422700/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
