** Description changed:

  I have found that in the gnome-control-center if I want to make it so
  that a folder does not come up in search and I go to the "Search"
  section if I click on the options menu which launches up "Search
  Locations", click the "+" button, select the folder and then press the
  slider to turn it "Off" it disappears from the list, in fact anything in
- the "Other" section does, even "Desktop" which is there by default. I am
- running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18. I think it would be better
- if there was a different system where you have the folders in "Places"
- where they are now, but then instead of having the "Other" section (and
- "Desktop" should be in "Places" and not "Other") there should just be a
- blacklist to which you can add folders if you want (obviously adding a
- folder which is one of those in the "Places" list will simply disable it
- in "Places").
