Cannot Remove Search Bar in Academica

    I have searched the CSS forums and have found several lines of code to remove the default Search function in the header. None work. I have the upgrade to be able to do custom CSS. However, none of the descriptions of how to turn on your custom CSS seem to match what is in the Custom CSS in Customize CSS flyout. I get a window of “Welcome to Custom CSS>!”, a Content Width, a Start Fresh check box (don’t use the theme’s original CSS, an On Mobile Check Box and a Preprocessor dropdown allowing me to choose None, LESS, or SASS.
    There is no “Add to Existing CSS” selection, nor is there a Preview as described in the forums. I presume WordPress has changed the interface to a Live Preview. I have tried several variations from the forums and nothing seems to effect the style.

    I have saved the CSS with a number of variations and no joy.

    Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

    a) See this post of mine:
    http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2013/02/21/where-is-the-theme-css-and-how-do-i-edit-it/

    b) To remove the searchbox, paste this in the CSS editor: 

    #search {
    display: none;
}
