I was trying to get rid of dash plugins within the search, so I created & copied a list of my scopes and used:

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

from here 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 "['wherever.scope']"

to get indivdual (or all) back I get "no such key enable-scopes". So, what am I not doing right to get singular items (or the the whole thing if need be) back?

Login to Ubuntu and use Ctrl + Alt + F1 to enter TTY. Next, enter user name, password, and run the following command.

Code:

unity --reset

Wait until the process is complete and your user name appears again. Use Ctrl + Alt + F7 to renter the desktop environment

I have tried myself this command

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

and removed all shortcuts to application from HUD

then to re-enable it you have to simply run 

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

I got this info from 

man gsettings
