10.4: How to disable the Spotlight menu
Just curious if you actually tried it yourself before suggesting it, not trying to be wise here, because I couldn't get it to work. The system UI did not start up again properly and therefore my whole bar went blank, I changed the name back in the .tiff file and force killed it again and all of it came back properly. I think the system will sit there and look for that .tiff for a long time hindering the succesful launch of the bar.

Actually, if you were able to do this, you would still be able to activate Spotlight by clicking way up on the top right corner anway. I saw a note on Daring Fireball's list of Tiger changes that mentioned the clickable hotspot for both the Apple menu icon on the top left and the Spotlight icon on the top right extend all the way to the top and right of the screen, so no more trying to click directly on the icon.

I gave Kraven0825's suggestion a try with mixed results. I replaced each of the following files with a single pixel transparent tiff:
The result was a missing search bar button as expected but the real estate is still allocated. So now all the remaining items appear offset to the left.

Also notice that if you disable the entire bundle, you lose the rounded upper right corner of the menu bar and a little bit of horizontal padding between the edge of the screen and the right-most menu icon. |
