right these are the search providers and there are 2 that might provide file 
results (nautilus and gnome-documents). Look carefully at the icon
in the Left hand column for the results you are clicking!

You can disable the gnome-documents search-provider in gnome-control-center 
3.10+ search panel , or using dconf-editor to set:
org.gnome.desktop.search-providers disabled ['gnome-documents.desktop']

That way you will only get results from nautilus recently used
