Hi there, @cautery. I'm here to share additional steps to remove this white search bar.

 

Here's how:

  1. Click the View menu.
  2. Select Top Icon Bar. This will enable the Customize Icon Bar from the View menu.
  3. Click the View menu again and select Customize Icon Bar.
  4. Uncheck Show Search Box in Icon Bar and click OK.
  5. From the View menu, select Hide Icon Bar and then choose Left Icon Bar.

 

If it keeps reappearing every time you open QuickBooks, you can run the Verify/Rebuild tool. This will fix any data-integrity issues on your company file. Otherwise, you can perform a clean install of your QuickBooks Desktop to start with a clean slate. Before doing that, I'd recommend creating a backup copy of your company file. 

 

Be sure to let me know what your results are. If you have any questions about anything else, don't hesitate to reach out to us here in the Community.
