Wordpress theme option to disable search

[James Tatum]

Our loco is using the wordpress theme with Wordpress as a CMS. The search bar functionality really doesn't fit with our use case. The results are fairly ugly and only display results in wordpress, not in static content or content in other applications. We decided to just disable it by commenting out this line:

include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php');

However, even though this is a very minor change, it's not optimal. We would like to stick to the standard theme for easy updates via bzr. A theme option for disabling search would be great.

You can create a simple plugin like this:
---
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: LoCo Stuff
Author: Your LoCo
*/

function ourloco_remove_search() {
 $result = remove_action( 'ubuntu_loco_search', 'ubuntu_loco_add_search' );
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'ourloco_remove_search' );
?>
---

Check the rev.22

Oops, remove the `$result = ` part, I used it for debugging.

Has this plugin been done and added to the theme?
