With Alurra, we have an overlay search window that is activated when you click on a little search icon. This icon is only visible when you have a custom header image or cover image for posts.

If you decide this is distracting, you can disable this icon and just use the search widgets for the search capability.

- Go to Appearance > Customize > Other Options
- Look for the Hide the Header Search Icon setting and click or slide the toggle setting to disable it. Blue means it’s active (hiding the icon).
- Click the Publish button.
