10.4: How to disable the Spotlight menu
Authored by: bbeck13 on Nov 01, '05 07:48:14AM

FYI, I implemented this change via renaming Search.bundle to RENAMED_TO_DISABLE_SPOTLIGHT_MENUITEM_Search.bundle. Doing this caused my system to not fully boot properly after upgrading to 10.4.3. My major symptom was that none of my menuitems (standard or otherwise) were visible and Activity Monitor showed SystemUIServer as hung.

I tracked the above problem down to the change associated with this hint, and noticed that 10.4.3 had recreated the Search.bundle with only a few updated files in it. My fix was to copy the files that Apple updated that were now in Search.bundle into my renamed Search.bundle. I then deleted Search.bundle again, and rebooted. Everything was ok again.

If you notice some problems with menuitems after upgrading to 10.4.3 and have applied this hint with renaming, then the above could be your solution.
