I've just volunteered to take over administrating a WP site. I'm a relative novice with WP but probably somewhat more experienced than the previous site admin. At some point in the past he added a search box within the header of the site. Unfortunately it obscures part of the organization's title.

I can't figure out how he added the search box and/or how to get rid of it....and neither can the last admin. He has no idea how he added it.
Can anyone lend a little insight on what to look for and where? It's not widget based. Seems to be hard coded but I'm not sure where/what to look for. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. It looks terrible right now and I really need to get it out of there.
Thanks! Patrick

this should be pretty simple. find the bit of code in the header.php around line 21 that starts with:
<div id="searchdiv"><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?></div>
and make it
<!--div id="searchdiv"--><!--?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?--><!--/div-->
(I am leaving the line effectively the same, merely commenting out the code that you are not interested in. This way, all you have to do is remove the !-- and -- later, and you are back to the way you were.)

Ah, brilliant! Perfect! I had previously tried to comment it out but must have done it incorrectly as it didn't work.
Looks great now though. Thanks so much for the help!
