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 form from appearing if the theme uses a `searchform.php` template * Prevents the search item from appearing in the admin tool bar when shown on the front-end. * Deaktiviert das Such-Widget. - Removes the Search widget from the list of available widgets - Deactivates any search widgets currently in use in any sidebars (they are hidden, not deleted; they’ll reappear in their original locations if this plugin gets deactivated) * Deaktiviert den Such-Block. - Removes the Search block from the list of available blocks - Deactivates any search blocks currently in use, such as in posts or as a widget( they are disabled, not deleted; they’ll reappear if this plugin gets deactivated and the associated placeholder block doesn’t get deleted) * With or without a 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 site’s 404.php template, if present. * Disables output of `SearchAction` in SEO schema by the [Yoast SEO](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/) plugin. The plugin only affects search on the front-end of the site. It does not disable searching in the admin section of the site.

Install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer. Or install the plugin code inside the plugins directory for your site (typically `/wp-content/plugins/`). 2. Aktiviere das Plugin im „Plugins“-Menü in WordPress ## FAQ ### Wird dies die Suchmöglichkeiten im Adminbereich des Blogs deaktivieren? Nein. ### Wird dies Google oder andere Suchmaschinen vom Durchsuchen meiner Website abhalten? Nein. Dies deaktiviert lediglich die Möglichkeiten von WordPress in Bezug auf die interne Suche. Search engines index your site and search their index of your site. They do not make use of your site’s native search capabilities. You can only prevent search engines from searching your site by blocking their web crawlers and purging their cache of your site (which is well beyond the scope of this plugin). ### Warum sehe ich immer noch ein Suchformular auf meiner Website, obwohl das Plugin aktiviert ist? Die wahrscheinlichste Ursache hierfür ist ein Theme, bei dem das Markup für das Suchformular in einer oder mehreren Theme-Template-Dateien (ausgenommen die `searchform. php`) fest hinterlegt wurde. Das ist heutzutage eigentlich verpönt (das Theme sollte stattdessen `get_search_form()` oder die `searchform.php` zur Integration des Suchformulars einbinden). Es gibt keinen Weg für dieses Plugin, die Anzeige dieser fest hinterlegten Formulare zu unterbinden. Auch wenn dies der Fall ist, wird das Formular (dank dieses Plugin) nicht funktionieren, es wird lediglich noch angezeigt. ### Can the front-end search only be selectively disabled, allowing it to appear and work under certain conditions (such as only for logged-in users, etc)? No, not at this time, though it is feature being considered. (In truth, custom coding could certainly be used to achieve this, but that obviously requires coding knowledge.) ### Ist dieses Plugin DSGVO-konform? Yes. This plugin does not collect, store, or disseminate any information from any users or site visitors. ### Does this plugin have unit tests? Yes. The tests are not packaged in the release .zip file or included in plugins. svn.wordpress.org, but can be found in the [plugin’s GitHub repository](https://github.com/coffee2code/disable-search/). ## Rezensionen ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/db3ad0ccf1df46b9d35ca9872bac675eac1e98c3e0c44043a92440ce4c21ffe9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[nice](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-4990/)󠁿 [kojot](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kojot/) 27.

Mai 2024 In 2024, numerous bots are crawling sites, generating significant search spam. Generally, site search incurs high costs, primarily because we end up paying for CPU resources consumed by spam. If site search is not crucial for your website, I recommend activating this plugin. Thank you, Scott, for maintaining this simple yet effective plugin! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c80675b02651e88229e4bca0c79d31115ac879ab73274801072df4a75ce79e15? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Handful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/handful/)󠁿 [Dennis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/1404iran/) 9.
