I see - in that case, there are a couple of ways this could be done:

JavaScript

Edit the following JavaScript file used by the dashboard:

$SPLUNK_HOME$\etc\apps\simple_xml_examples\appserver\static\autodiscover.js

and add these three lines to the bottom of the file, before the last });

$('#panel2').hide();
$('#panel1').width('100%');
$('#panel2').width('0%');

CSS

Edit the following CSS file used by the dashboard:

$SPLUNK_HOME$\etc\apps\simple_xml_examples\appserver\static\dashboard.css

and add these lines to the bottom of the file:

div#panel1 {    
   width: 100% !important;
}

div#panel2 {    
   width: 0% !important;    
   display: none !important;
}

If I understand correctly, make a copy of

$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\apps\<your app>\default\data\ui\nav\default.xml

and place it in

$SPLUNK_HOME$\etc\apps\<your app>\local\data\ui\nav\default.xml

(You may need to create the local folder structure if it doesn't already exist.)

Then, you can edit your local copy of default.xml. You can either comment out or remove entirely the following line:

<view name="search" default='true' />

Restart Splunk and you should no longer see Search in the top nav.
