Turbo Theme Remove Search Bar and Search Link

Topic summary

A user wants to completely remove all search functionality from their Shopify store using the Turbo theme. They successfully disabled the search bar through theme settings, but the search page link remains visible in the header.

Current Issue:

  • Search bar removed via theme settings
  • Search link still appears in header (shown in attached screenshots)
  • User seeks complete removal of all search elements

Proposed Solution:
Another user suggests locating and modifying the code snippet that controls the search link display:

{% if settings.enable_search %}
<li class="search-link">
<a href="{{ routes.search_url }}">{{ 'general.search.title' | t }}</a>
</li>
{% endif %}

This would require editing the theme’s header template to remove or comment out the search link code. The discussion remains open as the original poster has not confirmed whether this solution resolved their issue.

I want to completely remove all search functionality and links. So completely remove it from the header and anywhere else it appears

Hello. @alexlomt1

You can remove the search bar and its link via the Theme settings.

Navigate to the Header Settings from the theme’s customization button, look for a Search Bar option and disable it.

If the theme’s settings doesn’t allow the removal, kindly edit with this code;

{% if settings.enable_search %}

  • {{ 'general.search.title' | t }}
  • {% endif %}
