Hide search in panel

I am making a kirby site with more than 15 thousand pages. Everything is working smoothly, but the search functionality in the panel causes the site to lockup.

Is there a way to hide the search functionality in the panel?

You could hide the search via a custom panel stylesheet that you define in your config.php:

c::set('panel.stylesheet', 'assets/css/custom-panel.css');

Makes sense - thanks!
