unityunity-dash
first time poster. I have deselected nearly all categories and sources in unity search filter but every time I type something new they are automatically re-enabled (music/amazon/ebay/lots more) I would like my filtering to be permanent (at least until the computer is shut down) as I do not require any of these results
I have searched my problem and not found an answer. I apologise if its already been covered.
One (somewhat hackish) solution could be to simulate a Super keystroke every time you log in.
You can do this by adding the following xdotool command to your Startup Applications:
xdotool key Super_L
You might try to the Dconf Editor to change the Unity Lenses.
UbuntuForums.org has some posts about it.
Ubuntu Forums
The Wiki of Ubuntu.com has also some information about lenses.... and how to build one yourself.. If you have some spare time laying around somewhere, give building a lens a shot.

You should be able to turn off Online Scopes in the Privacy Settings.
There is a list of the available scopes/lenses here, you should be able to remove them in software centre, or with
sudo apt-get remove....
