I got the Plugin PHP code by modifying both Forum Display and Group Search.
If you have a lot of traffic and don't want guests slowing down your site, you can disable search for guests.
I created the plugin using Allan's Guide: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232579
1. AdminCP/Plugins & Products/Add New Plugin
2. Product: vBulletin
3. Hook Location: process_templates_complete
4. Title: Search
5. Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:
The code in green is where you can disable search for guests.
The code in red is where you can move the template hook per Allan's guide
// change $allowguests from 'true' to 'false' if you do NOT want guests to see the gallery menu
$allowguests = false;
/******** NO EDITS below here! ************/
/******************************************/
if ($show['member'] OR $allowguests)
{
global $vbphrase, $vbulletin, $bbuserinfo;
$sess = $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'];
$template_hook['navbar_after_community'] .= '
<li class="popupmenu nohovermenu forumsearch menusearch" id="forumsearch">

To remove search from the navbar:
AdminCP/Styles and Templates/ Style Manager / Edit Templates / Navigation and Breadcrumb Templates / navbar
In navbar delete the following code:
