@Harry: The folders don't always show up for me because my unity search results for the same query are often inconsistent (see bug 810823). Are you seeing a Files & Folders section at all (what if you create a file called ~/downloads.txt)?
Here's more formal steps. Load up a natty LiveCD Search "down" and get the Downloads folder Delete the ~/Downloads folder from nautilus Search "doc" (workaround bug 810823) Search "down" and the Downloads folder is still there! You shouldn't have to do anything other than delete a folder from nautilus to make it stop showing in your results. That's how it works for any other file. I tried applying updates to the LiveCD, but I don't have enough memory. However, I've updated unity (dpkg -l output changes from 3.8.10-0ubuntu2 to 3.8.16-0ubuntu1-natty1) and run setsid unity to restart unity. The above steps still show the Downloads folder. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780841 Title: The files lens includes folders that don't exist To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/780841/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
