Remove Search Bar On Mobile Version, Sense Theme

Store Design
, , , ,

Topic summary

A user seeks to remove the search bar from the mobile version of their Shopify store using the Sense theme. They successfully hid it on desktop but need a mobile-specific solution.

Initial attempts:

  • Desktop CSS code worked but mobile version remained unchanged
  • Adding code to base.css file produced no results

Working solutions provided:

  1. CSS approach - Add to base.css or theme.css:
@media only screen and (max-width: 989px){
  .header__icon--search { display: none !important; }
}
  1. Alternative method - When CSS fails, paste code in theme.liquid file before the </body> tag wrapped in <style> tags

Key troubleshooting notes:

  • The !important flag may be necessary
  • Screen width breakpoint (989px or 767px) may need adjustment
  • If base.css doesn’t work, the theme.liquid method serves as a reliable fallback
  • Always save changes and refresh the page

Resolution: Original poster confirmed success. A second user with similar issue also resolved it using the provided CSS targeting .menu-drawer__menu-item.menu-drawer__search-parent.

Thanks! Try this one.

  • From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
  • Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
  • In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:
@media only screen and (max-width: 989px){
.header__icon--search { display: none; }
}

I used your code. But i just check what screen size need to pull out the icon.

Oh, Can you replace with this one.

@media only screen and (max-width: 989px){
.header__icon--search { display: none !important; }
}

And Save.

Hi @bebop87

This is Richard from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App, I’d like to suggest this idea:
Online Store ->Theme ->Edit code
Assets ->Base.css

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px){
 .header__icon--search { 
   display: none !important; 
 }
}

Hope you find my answer helpful!
Best regards,
Richard | PageFly

Thanks for the info, check this one.

From you Admin page, go to Online Store > Themes

Select the theme you want to edit

Under the Asset folder, open the main.css(base.css, style.css or theme.css)

Then place the code below at the very bottom of the file.

li.drawer-menu__item.drawer-menu__search-parent {
    display: none;
}

And Save.
