Hi All,
I am using Moodle 1.8 and am unable to remove the "search courses" button. I don't know why I am unable to find this is documentation or the forum.
please look at the picture i have highlighted the search portion i am referring to.
thanks for the help
Anyone? how do you remove these search boxes?
I am looking to do the same thing. Were you ever able to figure out how?

You're talking about the front page only, right?
The only way I found is not the solution for me, as it also removes the course descriptions. In the admin settings => Frontpage => Frontpage Settings, you see a drop-down menu what will be displayed after logon. You can deselect the "List of courses" or play around with the other options, but I couldn't find a setting that has my preferred list of courses without the "Search Course" button.
Maybe an option for you would be to deselect the "List of courses" and instead include a block with that information. Per default, the "courses" block also includes a "search" link, but you can change that in the Admin setting Modules => Blocks => courses settings: block_course_list_hideallcourseslink => yes. Unfortunately, this setting has no effect on the middle column of the front page.

You can use CSS to hide it.
Select /theme/standard/styles_layout.css and add at the end of file this: (or if you have another theme which is not using standard theme, manipulate css file in this theme.)

#site-index #coursesearch{display:none;
}
This will hide course search form only on front page.

To hide both search course forms insert this code
#site-index #coursesearch,#site-index #coursesearch2{display:none;
}PK
Hey Petr,
You missed on some pages to remove from entire site put this
/* to hide search course button */
#site-index #coursesearch,#site-index #coursesearch2, #coursesearchnavbar, #coursesearch2{
display:none;
}

Here is a good explanation of how to remove the search courses box.
Hi there
has anyone found a solution to hiding the search all courses box on the front page for students?
I have worked through each of the suggestions and none of these seem to make any difference at all.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I must also ask if anyone has found a GUI admin way of doing this. It is off on my local environment but on in the production environment and I can't for the life of me figure out where I made a change because the line that these posts tell you to remove, is not in the theme files to remove. It is available in the core-renderer somewhere and while I'm not apposed to changing it, as I appear to have done on local—and as a very good lesson—now I can't remember where I made the change in the core render.
The table that is generated for the search box is coming from a yahoo script because the CSS associated with the table that contains the search box, and is external to the course list, has styling coming from yui_combo.php.
As for the suggested solution for doing it in the CSS file I might point out that this would work for the majority of individuals but turn the CSS off and bingo it is right back because it has not been removed from the actual HTML. I have hidden things through CSS but it is only after clarifying that it is okay that something is available if someone turns CSS off. If you're going to turn off a display it would be far better to turn off the table display that contains the search form (it is the only thing in the table) but it does not look like you can target the table easily (it contains no id or class).
