Overview
The "Search" feature can be disabled from the Client Support Center by removing the Search box from the template code.
Process
The "Search box" can be removed by modifying the 'header' template from Admin CP > Templates > Templates > General.
The following code needs to be removed from the 'header' template :
<form method="post" id="searchform" action="<{$_baseName}><{$_templateGroupPrefix}>/Base/Search/Index" name="SearchForm">
<div class="helptitle">
<{if $_baseIndex==t rue}>
<{$_language[pleasetypeyourquestion]}>
<{else}>
<{$_language[pleasetypeyourquery]}>
<{/if}>
</div>
<div class="searchboxcontainer">
<div class="searchbox">
<span class="searchbuttoncontainer">
<a class="searchbutton" href="javascript: void(0);" onclick="$('#searchform').submit();"><span></span>
<{$_language[searchbutton]}>
</a>
</span>
<span class="searchinputcontainer"><input type="text" name="searchquery" class="searchquery" onclick="javascript: if ($(this).val() == '<{$_language[pleasetypeyourquestion]}>' || $(this).val() == '<{$_language[pleasetypeyourquery]}>') { $(this).val('').addClass('searchqueryactive'); }" value="<{if $_baseIndex == true}><{$_language[pleasetypeyourquestion]}><{else}><{$_language[pleasetypeyourquery]}><{/if}>" /></span>
</div>
</div>
</form>
