WebLink Version 9 Web Customizations How To

How can I remove the search field from the Welcome page? I am wanting to only have my custom search link on the page without the default search field to eliminate confusion. As I understand, the .aspx file represents the layout for that page. I have tried cutting different <div> sections and saving, but either nothing changes, or I get an error message to the effect, "The system has encountered an error and could not complete your request. If the problem persists, please contact the site administrator." I am using WebLink 9.0.1.275.

This is the option Tommy is referring to:

In the WebLink Designer, under the "Welcome Page" tab, uncheck the "Show search box" option.

There's an option under the Weblink Designer that you can uncheck, it will remove the search box from the welcome page.

Just figured it out on my own. Instead of deleting any <div> sections, I took the same approach as hiding the "MyWebLink" link. I inserted:

style="display:none"

into the following line in Welcome.aspx as follows:

<weblink:SearchForm8 ID="Search" runat="server" style="display:none" AllowPartialMatches="True" />

Thank you, Tommy. I had familiarized myself with WebLink designer, but was finding several limitations, so I started digging in under the hood. I completely overlooked this simple little check-box. Embarrassingly simple. Thanks again.
