Ubuntu To Make Amazon Product Results \’Opt-In’
But before anyone unpacks the party poppers in jubilation there are caveats to note: **Amazon results are not being removed entirely, **and the change is not going to take effect in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
- The headline is a little bit misleading. What actually is going to happen is that the next iteration of Unity8 will drop the concept of the \”Home scope\” in favour of a \”Scopes scope\”. That way, when you type a search term into the Dash, it\’s not a selection of results from different scopes that will surface, but a selection of scopes from which you choose the one you are interested in. So, yes, in a sense, that makes all scopes (and among them the Amazon scope) opt-in.
