Ubuntu – How to remove “Dash Plugins” from Applications lens

lensesunity-dash

enter image description here

See the picture above. In the Applications lens of the Dash, you have the "Installed" field, and the "Dash plugins" field. I never use this field at all, but by default it appears expanded, not the "Installed" field. How can I removed the "Dash plugins" field from the Applications lens entirely, so that it only shows the "Installed" apps?

(I already used Unity Tweak Tool to remove the "recent items" and "More suggestions", etc.)

I am using 16.04.

Open /usr/share/unity/scopes/applications.scope:

sudo gedit /usr/share/unity/scopes/applications.scope

and remove this:

[Category scopes]
Name=Dash plugins
Icon=/usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/group-installed.svg
DedupField=uri
SortField=scope_disabled;title;
ContentType=apps
RendererHint=toggled
