As long as you just type it will only search for local stuff... only if you hit enter it will open the first action found. if nothing is found there are two buttons on the bottom (for me two) one with wikipedia the other with google. The first of them is highlighted. Pressing enter will activate it. So a simple solution is to just not press enter if nothing was found. I have no Idea how to disable the function completely but I guess this would be done with a gnome-shell-extension. enaut _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
