The search box is not hard coded in the core, it’s only in the template – it won’t be forced on other templates.

Just look in header.php

<?php login_form(); ?>

<div class="search">

<?php search_form(); ?>

</div>

The three “search” lines can be removed or just comment out this:

<?php // search_form(); ?>
