Is there anyway to turn off the search box suggestions? I am already using swiftype.
Also the search results page is turning up all attachment pages/images in the site.
Theme doesn’t control search results on the results page, sadly, this is the classic “crappy results” built in to WP, AFAIK. There are some “better results” plugins in the WP plugin repository.
We use this on a Woo Canvas based site, works pretty well

there are also hacks you can do to use Google Search as replacement for WP’s built-in search.
Can the Search box suggestions/drop down auto-fill results be turned off? or commented out somehow?
I think the search suggestions only happen from the menu bar search icon. just need to turn that off.
I know people have turned that off, from the “Newspaper” theme forum; you might do quick search there while waiting for reply from official support folk.
Thanks guys. Removing all the javascript, removes the search completeley, but leaves the search icon in the menu. I think it is fine to have the icon there but still make the search work. I looked through the javascript and just commented out of the main function you had suggested in removing:
//td_ajax_search_do_request();
This seemed to work removing just the drop down suggestions.
