Description Liangent 2011-03-10 13:14:15 UTC 
It seems I can disable Special:Search somehow but cannot remove link to opensearch_desc.php and the search box in HTML generated by default skins.

What is 'somehow' ? How did you disable it ?

Why does this have a high importance ?

Because it piqued my interest and I use that field to help me keep track of stuff.

$wgDisableInternalSearch

This prevents Special:Search's registration and expects an extension to provide its own Special:Search, leaving many broken links if no extension provides one.

Liagent, can you please give us examples of breakage so we can actually fix them?

I am unwilling to spend hours trying to find all the issues you have already identified <:-)  Thanks!

Did you mean the breakages when no extension provides a search page?
