How to Hide or Disable 'Search for Address' field in Forms

My app is designed for workorder entry in the construction industry, and the vast majority of addresses entered do not exist yet.  The 'search for an address' field does not help, and is even a liability at times.  How can I hide or disable this part of the 'Address' type field?

    Customize this form" to select and remove the field from the "elements" tab or go to "dynamic rules" and enable a rule to "hide" the field under certain conditions.

      Brad is looking to disable that top line of the address field which is a search box.  I don't think that there is a way to do that.

      Oh ok. I thought there was a way before (at the user level or report level), for I remember having issues displaying that option for one of my users in the past. Any case, now it does look like a default search area.

      Correct on the first comment, Coach.  I've been looking for ways to disable or hide it for a few months now, but it's been a passive search due to the low-priority of the issue in relation to the other tasks I needed to knock out.  It's becoming a higher-than expected-priority item now that i'm training more and more non-power users for the app.

    Hey, I have something similar to this but I want to make all of the address fields except the search read only.  I'm want to force my users to use the search.  Is there anyway to do this with form rules?
