Extended Description
Disable the search capabilities of WordPress.
Prevent WordPress from allowing and servicing any search requests for the blog. Specifically, this plugin:
* Prevents the search form from appearing (if the theme uses the standard
get_search_form()function to display the search form).
* Prevents the Search widget from displaying the search form.
* With or without the search form, the plugin prevents any direct or manual requests by visitors, via either GET or POST requests, from actually returning any search results.
* Submitted attempts at a search will be given a 404 File Not Found response, rendered by your sites 404.php template, if present.Find out more at the plugin’s WordPress Plugin Repository page.
Installation
- Unzip ‘disable-search.zip’ inside the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory for your site (or install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer)
