Using Ubuntu 14.04, how can I hide files, even from the computer search? I know about adding the dot to the beginning of file names, but this does not prevent hidden files and folders from showing up in my computer search results.

You can set which directories you don't want to appear in the dash search, just open your Privacy settings and select them there.
