 * hello!
 * ok, so i have another website where i was able to disable the search icon via
   just removing the widget. however the website, which i’ve linked to, i’ve done
   the same thing; removing the search widget and for some reason it’s not working.
   even after purging the cache.
 * i’ve tried searching as much on this forum as possible before creating a new 
   post so as not to have a duplicate. i’m just not sure what’s going on and hoping
   that there’s a css code i can use to remove it since removing the widget did 
   nothing, which is quite odd.
 * please and thank you for your help!

 * hello not sure what triggered this post to be withheld for moderation, but i 
   have 2 websites and i had to make an edit because i accidentally linked the wrong
   website that needed help.
 * sorry about that. i must’ve made the edits too fast and so made the automated
   system think it was a robot. my apologies.

 * Hi [@peachykeen2012](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peachykeen2012/),
 * Hope you are having a great day!
 * The Kale theme has an option to disable the search icon on the menu. you just
   need to go to **WP Admin > Appearance > Customize > Menus > Kale Menu Settings**
   and you’ll find an on/off option to enable or disable the search icon.
 * Please, let me know if you need any further assistance.
    Kind regards, Diego
