# CSS Search Button

 * Hi there,
 * So for some reason, months ago, I decided to try to get a search button (to search
   content) on my site at the top left of my website. I tried to do this using CSS
   or HTML code.
 * I’m not equipped to be doing this – LOL. I’ve since installed the Ivory Search
   plugin and it works beautifully, and I’ve resolved myself to the fact that I 
   don’t need a search bar in the top left corner.
 * So now I’d like to remove the top left search button (for some weird reason it
   has an “sp” beside the field).
 * I’ve been poking around in the customize CSS area and can’t find the code and
   tried looking at the source code to see where it is. I can’t find it. I don’t
   know how I did that.
 * Any ideas on how to remove it? I’d greatly appreciate any help.

 * Hey Steven,
 * Thank you for replying.
 * I checked the CSS but I couldn’t find the
 *     ```wp-block-code
       form#searchform {    display: none;}
       ```
   
 * I did it quite awhile ago but I’m not sure how I did it. I don’t think I did 
   it in the CSS but instead somehow got into the header coding and added the coding
   for it there (which I found somewhere on the internet). Obviously I was feeling
   brave. 🙂

 * Did you ADD that CSS as I noted in the above links?

 * Hi Steven,
 * I didn’t realize you meant me to try that. Thank you. Ok I tried it and it worked!!
 * The only thing is now the search plugin doesn’t work…
