[support] correct way to hide 'enter your keywords' and 'advanced search' from website.com/search

[Michael Prasuhn]

This is somewhat of an issue in Drupal, and frankly you might consider  
filing a bug against core for this, if one doesn't already exist. The  
only way to ultimately remove that form from that page is to modify  
search.module (*%^@&^!!!!)

See:
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/search_view/5
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/search_view

If you look at the bottom of those functions you'll see:

$output = drupal_get_form('search_form', NULL, $keys, $type);
$output .= $results

In other words, do not pass go, do not ask the user, do not theme this  
page (except using a page template(which doesn't help)), and you get  
the form no matter what.

You can however, disable the advanced portion of the search by  
visiting the Access Control page under User Management in the  
Administer section of your site.
