Removing Advanced Search

Is there a way to remove the Advanced Search link? I do not wish to make this option available to customers, just the regular search only.

Couple more questions if you don't mind:

1. When someone hits the search button and the box is blank, this causes the site to hang as the query takes awhile. I'm pretty sure I need to edit search.php to fix this --- but I am not sure what to edit. I don't want a query to be performed if the box is left blank. What do you recommend I do to remedy this?

2. To cut down on process time, is it possible I can just have it search the product titles, and not any other fields? If so, how?

Thanks for your time.

I also would like an answer to this. As default is a really bad solution for an empty search box to return all products in the store. How about if the store has 10,000 products!

Also I would like some help, how do i make it so that if no search results are found it does just tell the user no search results are found but it still does not show advanced search?

not an expert, and i havn't tested it, but i think here

Code:

<INPUT type="hidden" name="simple_search" value="Y">

    <INPUT type="hidden" name="mode" value="search"> 

    <INPUT type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_title]" value="Y"> 

    <INPUT type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_shortdescr]" value="Y"> 

    <INPUT type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_fulldescr]" value="Y"> 

    <TR>

change that to

Code:

<INPUT type="hidden" name="simple_search" value="Y">

    <INPUT type="hidden" name="mode" value="search"> 

    <INPUT type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_title]" value="Y"> 

     <TR>
