 Is there anyway to disable the Global Search for HTML5 v2.1?

  The easiest way to "disable" search is to remove the banner, which includes the search bar, in your viewer settings.

  Other than that, you could try to run a startup workflow that uses the DestroyView command to removed the SearchView.

  You can navigate to your Desktop.json.js file at this location: "\(file://\\<ServerName\c$\Program) Program Files (x86)\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Essentials\Default\REST Elements\Sites\<SiteName>\Viewers\<HTML5ViewerName>\VirtualDirectory\Resources\Config\Default

  Find "id": "SearchView".

  Under this SearchView Module, turn the "true" to "false" for the visible tag.  This will disable the Global Search from ever appearing in the banner.

  This works for me successfully for both Desktop and Tablet, but even with

              "id": "SearchView",

   

              "visible": false,

  set in Handheld, it still shows up. Any ideas? I'm at GVH 2.4. Thanks!

  I'd still love to get an answer on this for handheld - anyone?

  Cassandra, I noticed this same behavior with my HTML5 2.5 viewer.  I ended up just deleting the SearchView code from the Handheld.json file and the search bar finally disappeared in the viewer.  Of course, I copied the code to a text file and made note of where its placement was in case I finally take the time to perfect the Global Search settings for all of my attribute fields!  I hope this helps... remember to back up your files first!

  You can also use css to remove the global search box.  In the folder \Program Files (x86)\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Essentials\Default\REST Elements\Sites\<SiteName>\Viewers\<HTML5ViewerName>\VirtualDirectory\Resources\Styles\Custom you will find the handheld.css file.  You can add the following:

   

  .global-search{

   

  display:none !important;

   

  }
