Ning recently released search - I want to disable it since it does not search all the content on the network.
I already have custom search in place on my network culytics.com
Current status of the Ning Platform is always available on the Ning Status Blog.
Some interesting articles related to community management, digital marketing etc. could be found in our digest. Don't hesitate to leave a feedback so we would know that we should continue :-)

I think this'll do the trick. Let me know if you have problems.
.globalsearch .globalsearch-button {display: none;}
where should I put this?
Hi there!
You should put that code in custom CSS field in design studio,

Thanks Kyryl!
This does not help. I still see both the fields.
What's your URL? Let me take a look..........
culytics.com
This didn't work for me. I also would like to remove the new search bar as it displays material in private groups, where people post for the reason that it is for them only or a few others. Even a reference and brief extract referring to such posts in the search function is not suitable, no matter that others cannot visit the page. I have a different simple Google search function for public material which works sufficiently for the job.
Hi John, I actually had tried it and it didn't work, but just gave it another try and it did. I actually think that perhaps the last time it didn't work was because i had written ''Disable Ning Search'' a couple of lines above the piece of code so I would know what it was and what piece of code to take out if i wanted to re-enable the search bar. Perhaps writing that interfered with the function code. Anyways, thank you very much, it works now! :)
Ahhh, I see! That makes sense. At least I eventually had the wit to think maybe it was my line of words that disabled your code. Looking at what small bits of custom code i have now i can see they have /***'s above them, which i must have unconsciously copied and used when they were supplied on here by helpful Creators. I'm going to go back and have a closer look to see if there are some that might not be working because of no /*
Thanks a million, John!
