Make Search Bar Go AWAY

I just did ANOTHER fresh install of Adobe, because, ya know, it's Adobe. And now I can't get the search bar to go away. It's taking up too much space on my open documents tab and I want to boot it from this earth. How do I make the search bar disappear? It wasn't there 20 minutes ago before I reinstalled. So why can't I find a way to get rid of it now?

 

Used to be a check box, used to be easy, used to like Adobe too, but that was year and years and years ago now.

Here's how I got the search box to go away. Not sure why it worked, but it did. Click Edit + Advanced Search. When the new windo popped up, I clicked arrange windows and then closed the pop-up. Hopefully this helps someone!

Simple search used to be a pop-up. Now, it is integrated in my open documents tab bar, and I can't make it go away. It is taking too much space. The solution above does not work.
