What's the best way to remove the search form from the search result page in Drupal 8?

  • Is the form a block? You can disable the path visibility for search result paths.

    No, it is not a block. There is a search form that is a block and I have that placed in a region. By default the search results page has a second search form that is not a block and there is no way to hide it from the admin. I don't want to have this second search form.

There is not much you can customize in core search. So you probably need to override Drupal\search\Controller\SearchController::view and remove this line:

  $build['search_form'] = $this->formBuilder()->getForm(SearchPageForm::class, $entity);

Put your extended class into the route search.view_node_search in a RouteSubscriber.

But I don't think it's worth the effort. You can either simply hide the form in CSS or if you want a fully customizable search solution use Search API.

I had the same question for Drupal 9 and first I hid it with css, then I found it can be disabled in /admin/config/search/pages/manage/node_search

Uncheck: Display basic search Display advanced search

I'm not sure if is the best way, but you can remove it from your theme preprocess, just for that page: /** * Implements hook_preprocess_search_api_page() */ function YOURTHEME_preprocess_search_api_page(&$vars) { unset($vars['form']); }

  • This does not appear to work. Using hook_preprocess_HOOK() would be something like YOURTHEME_preprocess_page__search_api(&$vars) {}. That assumes the hook suggestion would be search_api, which I'm not certain it is. Furthermore, I think $vars['form'] would not be the correct array key to unset b/c the form would likely be found within a nested array starting with the page region name as the first key.
