Joomla Search - Remove “Ordering” Drop-down menu

Question

How do I remove the "Ordering" drop-down menu option from Joomla Search?

I need to remove the Green highlight section not the Red section by setting 'Use Search Options' to 'No'.

Thanks!

Search Options

Setting Components -> Search -> Options -> Use Search Options to "No" will disable the search options.

CSS Override

Alternatively, you could hide the ordering option this via CSS as follows:

.ordering-box {
    display: none;
}

or possibly:

.ordering-box {
    display: none !important;
}

This may depend on the template you are using. For example, this seems to be correct for the JSN Solid Pro template if the demo is anything to go by:

Taking JSN templates as an example, copy the custom CSS code into a custom file e.g. custom.css and copy the file to the CSS folder at /templates/[template name]/css. Remember to specify the name of the CSS file at Extensions -> Templates -> [template name] -> SEO & System -> Custom CSS/JS File(s).

See https://joomla.stackexchange.com/a/3878/120 for instructions on adding custom CSS files to other templates.
