** 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"). + the "Other" section does, even "Desktop" which is there by default, + though adding an item back to the list where its status is "On" makes + search results be displayed for it again.
