Disabled Lenses, Lost Search

[stevie6]

I was trying to get rid of dash plugins within the search so I could enable individual ones. So I created & copied a list of my scopes and used:


gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes "[$(find /usr/share/unity/scopes/ -name \*.scope -printf "'%P',"|sed -es':/:-:g' -e's/,$//')]"

which totally blanked out the search HUD -as in no access to installed apps or files. However when I try to use

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses enable-scopes "['whatever.scope']"

to get indivdual (or all) back I get "no such key enable-scopes". I've tried Unity--reset (depreciated) and CCSM (no effect on the search) and

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ & unity --reset-icons &disown

to, by now, get the whole thing back. So, what am I not doing right?

There is no key enable-scopes.
Not sure how scopes work but obviously some of the scopes you disabled using

find /usr/share/unity/scopes/ -name \*.scope -printf "'%P',"|sed -es':/:-:g' -e's/,$//'

are needed for basic dash functionality.

And wouldn't running this return fuctionality....

gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes
