Hiding Files From Dash Search [duplicate]

How can I keep recent files from appearing in Unity?

I have images and videos that I want to have hidden from the Files and videos lens searches in my dash. (Nothing dirty, just ponies :P)

Anyway....Is there a way to have a file or even a folder not show up? Would hiding the files or folders do the trick, or is there more that I need to do?


In Ubuntu 12.04, there is 'Privacy', a software that comes pre-installed that lets you customize what will and what will not be stored by Zeitgeist that the dash uses to search for content.

So go ahead and search your system for Privacy, and look at its functions. It is pretty straight forward from there. You just select the folders with the content that you don't want showing up.

Good luck!
