"Search For" function SSRS Report Manager.

Unfortunately Microsoft in their wisdom decided that the search box should not be removable easily. It is possible with a little javascript and editing of a few aspx pages.

First we hide the label for the search box. This is easy enough as it is stored in the css file.

1. Open ReportingServices.css - (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Styles)
   
2. Replace the Label of search box with the css below (basically I am just adding the "display: none" to it)
   
   /* Label of search box*/
   .msrs-search {
   font-family: Verdana, serif;
   font-size: x-small;
   color: black;
   font-weight: normal;
   text-decoration: none;
   display: none;
   }
   
3. Use JavaScript to hide the Search textbox and button;
   
   a. Browse to the folder
   C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Pages (SQL 2008)
   
   b. Create a new file using notepad (text file)
   
   function HideSearchPanel()
   {
   var txtSearch= document.getElementById('ui_txtSearch');
   var btnGo= document.getElementById('ui_btnGo');
   if(txtSearch && btnGo)
   {
   txtSearch.style.display = "none";
   btnGo.style.display = "none";
   timer=setTimeout(HideSearchPanel,1);
   }
   }
   var timer;
   timer=setTimeout(HideSearchPanel,1);
   
   c. Save the file with filename HideSearchPanel.js (include the extension name .js)
   d. Now, open the Folder.aspx with notepad, add the following code to this page, and then save this file:
   
   
   
   e. Repeat step ( d ) in other pages such as Report.aspx, DataSource.aspx
   
   That should do it!
