I am using gnome-shell in Ubuntu 11.10
. I am getting annoyed when dash search lists Recent Items. I have tried many ways to prevent it like
-
Deleting
activity.sqlite
andactivity.sqlite-journal
files under~/.local/share/zeitgeist
-
Adding all the possible entries in
Activity Log Manager
to prevent application logging - Specifying time range in
Activity Log Manager
to forget my activities.
But none of the methods are working. The recent items list is still populated.
Is there any way to tell dash not to list Recent Items while searching, other than the above methods? Or is there any way to delete the recent items list?

Gnome-shell uses recently-used and not Zeitgeist to display your recent items.
to disable it follow theses steps:
delete recently-used.xbel:
create a new empty file:
make sure the new file cannot be modified:
now, your display of recent items is gone.
If you want to revert back, remove the i attribute of recently-used.xbel:
