How to remove gnome documents?

[Steve Ovens]

I am going to bump this back up. This is kind of an important thing to me.
Its functionality that works in Arch but not Ubuntu Gnome. If I enable
gnome-documents, the recently used documents show up in the activities menu
but I cant do anything with gnome documents (what an irritating program).
When I have just nautilus, there are no search results displayed.

Should I be filing a bug for this? As a matter of troubleshooting I have
tried changing out the extension that does the searching. I get the same
results either way.

Please advise
