Handful

Simple and Very Handful

Easy to Use! Works Flawlessly!

Love this plugin! Really didn't want a search bar on my site and this took care of the problem. I have used this plugin for about a year with no hiccups at all. Thank you for developing it!

Great one

I was looking for hours to hide the search form in the theme I am using. This plugin worked in 2 clicks: install and activate Really great!!

Best in addition to Google Custom Search

Thank god I can finally stop hacker wannabes from trying to hack through the search. On and my Google Maps works just fine, so not sure why the other guys does not.

Breaks Jetpack gallery and Google Maps API

By odw2017 on April 25, 2017

Does a good job of disabling search, but also disables Jetpack slideshow gallery and the Google Maps API (via Unyson builder).

Cool!

Very useful for certain type of websites! Is it ok for WP 4.7 and after?

Nice but...

Nice plugin but when using buddypress and you are logged in there still is a search at the right top of your page (wordpress admin bar).
