This plugin prevents WordPress from allowing and handling any search requests from the front-end of the site. Specifically, this plugin:

searchform.php template
- Prevents the search item from appearing in the admin tool bar when shown on the front-end.

- Deactivates any search widgets currently in use in any sidebars (they are hidden, not deleted; they’ll reappear in their original locations if this plugin gets deactivated)

- Removes the Search block from the list of available blocks
- Deactivates any search blocks currently in use, such as in posts or as a widget (they are disabled, not deleted; they’ll reappear if this plugin gets deactivated and the associated placeholder block doesn’t get deleted)
- With or without a search form, the plugin prevents any direct or manual requests by visitors, via either GET or POST requests, from actually returning any search results.
- Submitted attempts at a search will be given a 404 File Not Found response, rendered by your site’s 404.php template, if present.

SearchAction in SEO schema by the Yoast SEO plugin.
