you can remove by xml

Create local.xml under app/design/frontend/yourpakcage/yourtemplate/layout/

Code of

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
  <cms_index_index >
    <reference name="root">
    <remove name="top.search" />
        </reference>
    </cms_index_index>
</layout>

use following xml

<?xml>
<layout>
  <default>    
     <reference name="header">
       <remove name="top.search" />
     </reference>
    </default>
</layout>

you can remove the search function from the home page using a layout update. on the page you wish to remove this from, goto the design tab. In the 'custom design' tab and in the 'Custom layout update XML' box add in the following:

<remove name="top.search" />

This will remove the search box from this page only. Worked for me when all i wanted to do was remove the top search from the home page only.
