Good to know.

Thanks for the advice.  I'm avoiding Google as far as possible, but if
push comes to shove, this is good to know.

Speaking of Google, I noticed that the "Activities" view in GNOME 3
includes Google and Wikipedia as search engines while I'm typing into
the Activities search field.  I'd like to disable that if possible.
Anyone know how to do that?

Ah ok, so Flash for Linux is abandoned anyway.  All the more reason not
to resist installing it in the first place.
