View all results in search goes to 404 page

While search works fine on my page natscentral.com , if you click on view all results, you get directed to a 404 page. Any idea why? Can I disable the search feature if I can’t get it to work? I rather have no search than a broken search.

Oh. And it’s probably because my page adds index.php/home/ to it. I only had to do that because posts tagged with “articles” and “news” weren’t showing up properly under their categories. I rather disable the search bar than redo the page and try to fix my categories problem that drove me nuts for 2 weeks which was fixed by adding a index.php/home/ page even though I just started it a month ago.

If there’s code to remove the search feature, please let me know how unless fixing search results is easy.

Hello,

The cause you specified is what is causing the 404 page to appear. If you remove the ‘home’ part of your link, the search will work fine: http://screencast.com/t/XZcxlArBh
Try to reset your permalinks or you can try a plugin to redirect the link to the proper one.https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/
You can remove the search if you want with css or by removing it from the theme files:
CSS: add the code in the theme panel->custom css box
.header-search-wrap{
display:none;
}

Or to remove it from the files: http://screencast.com/t/yLQdeuvS

I hope this helps
Thank you!
