You can hide the google search with css

```css
.google-search-form {
    display: none;
}

```

To get rid of the “Try searching with Google instead:”\[1\] and “Or try searching with Google instead:”\[2\] you could replace the texts `js.search.search_google` and `js.search.or_search_google` with something like “(Or) try searching with a different term.”
