Wow, they really did it.
I searched for "web browser" and am presented with two web browsers "Firefox Web Browser" and "Browser" (?), followed by nine pictures of mens' shoes. A search for "Terminal" suggested Arnold Schwarzenegger holding a gun, and a goth metal singer dressed in a Nazi uniform sticking his tongue out at me.
What a ghastly misfeature. Is a cryptic terminal command really the only way to disable this noise? The linked article couldn't even get it right (it's gsettings, not settings).
- fulafel 13y agoThey used to have a disable option for the search stuff in the privacy settings, did they take it out?
- reirob 13y agoYou can disable the "search stuff" in System Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Search (tab). This is what I immediately did. So, this is a shame that the article only mentions a command line method to switch it off.
