I'd really like to remove the Custom Field option from the search page. I'm using the Custom Fields elsewhere so deactivating the module won't work for me. Does anyone have a solution for this?

One way, you could edit the Custom Fields plugin to not register itself with the Search plugin.

I don't know how to do that, you'll need to dig into those files and mess around with it yourself.

However, this may require uninstalling and reinstalling the custom fields plugin which means losing all of your current custom field data.

Thanks nivekiam. I finally got this to work... I stripped out the lines that included custom fields in the search parameters, uninstalled, and then reinstalled. Fortunately, I only had a few items where the custom fields were entered, so repopulating it didn't take much time at all.
