 * Hello,
 * How can I remove the search option?
 * The search function does not work properly for me, as the map goes blank after
   performing a search. Because of this, I would prefer to remove the search functionality
   entirely.
 * Kind regards,

 * Hello [@kbhhpf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kbhhpf/)
 * This is now supported in the latest update.
 * We added an option to disable the frontend search controls while keeping the 
   map and location list visible, so the layout can stay intact without showing 
   the search form.
 * Please update to version 2.0.0 and enable:
   Store Locator > Settings > Disable
   Frontend Search Controls
 * This was added in a way that does not change the live frontend layout by default
   unless the option is enabled.
 * Thanks!
