The problem of turning off the display of the Search Bar in Fast Dial v2.23b has been resolved in Version 2.23b1

Please see also see discussion here
______________________________________________________________________________________

It is easy to hide the search bar in Version 2.22b

But there is a setting change in Version 2.23earlybeta (not yet released) that is not so effective.

I am told that I should set in Preferences/General the Search value to zero
I have done that
But it has no effect at all.

Either I will discover how to remove it, or maybe Fast Dial will be changed.

However in the meanwhile for anyone that has a similar problem, one can make the search bar transparent and remove the search engine faviocon with this Style.
