[SOLVED]Piding contacts on gnome search panel

zexias · 2014-10-23 12:33:18

Hello guys,

I noticed that just when pidgin is running the search panel is very slow. I think that this happen because, the panel searches in pidgin's contacts also.
Anyone could help me, how to disable the search in pidgin's contacts?

Gnome V. 3.12.1

Thanks

It took me about 10 seconds to find this on Google...

Does that fix it?

No, I tried it, but I couldn't find the folder "js" inside "gnome-shell": http://postimg.org/image/pl8wrjbq7/

Oops! That commend is about three years old! Sorry.

In "/usr/share/gnome-shell", try using the "grep -R" command to search for "contactDisplay". Maybe it's hiding somewhere else.

I run

ls /usr/share/gnome-shell | grep -R "contactDisplay"

and didn't find anything.

Any idea?

Uninstall the package "gnome-contacts". Does that fix it?

EDIT: Of course, after uninstalling the package you should need to log out and log in before it will take effect.

I know this topic is pretty out of date but as it was one of the best search results on google for me, i thought my solution may help other. also as i´m using an up to date fedora 21 this problem still seams to be present.

I had the same problem an found out the the gnome extension ¨Pidgin IM integration¨ has an option for the search integration which needs to be disabled.

for firefox user (as this is the way i install gnome extensions): go to https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ klick on the small settings icon and disable ¨buddy search provider¨

the option is properly accessible on other ways i don´t know about, but this extension might be the source of your problem.

hope this will help.

Thanks xonx, really!

This works like a charm, for me. I did it and no more buddy in my search. Now, it fast again.

I would never find this options.

Thank you very much
