Disable Search in WordPress

About

The search feature of WordPress has been around for a long time. However, if your website does not need it, or you do not want users to “search” through your website for some reason, you can use this code snippet. Essentially, it is a custom function that simply nullifies the search feature. Not just the search bar in your sidebar or the menu, but the entire concept of native WP search is gone.
