   Is there a way to remove the "search" function from the top navigation bar? (I wish to remove it completely).

   Thanks in advance:-)

   Hello Millemini,

   Open up /wp-content/themes/awake/header.php and at the bottom you should see this..

   <div id="menu_search"></div>
   
   <!-- tooltip element -->
   <div class="tool_tip search_tooltip">
   	<form method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
   	<p><input type="text" size="20" class="tooltip_search_field" name="s" id="s" value="Search.." onfocus="if(this.value == 'Search..') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Search..';}" /></p>
   	<p><input type="submit" value="Search" class="tooltip_search_button" /></p>
   	</form>
   </div>

   Go ahead and comment out or delete those lines to remove the search. Let us know if this works for you.

   Hello,

   I followed your recommendation here for removing the search box in the menu, but it still appears that i have the search icon in my menu, and when I hover over it, a search callout appears. My site is http://www.aitinsulation.com. Can you help?

   Hello jlmartin,

   I just visited your website and the code for the search box is still in your theme.

   If you could provide me the login details for your website, I can remove it for you.

   Hello,

   I already deleted the search form from your website.

   The problem was that you used the PHP comments shortcut, and it does not work for HTML. I just deleted that block of code.

   I have the Awake theme. Header.php does not contain the code noted above. Perhaps that was for a different theme or older version. Any other suggestions on removing the search function in total?
   Thanks.

   Hello reggiethecat,

   Add this line in Dashboard -> your theme -> General Settings -> Custom CSS,

   #fancy_search { display: none; }
