Thank you for the response Steven.

I have found a work through by adding the search via a widget in the sidebar and added the shortcode to remove the search option on the home directory page.

My next question is:- Once i get to the initial main “home” page there are listings there. Is there a way to have no listings on the initial homepage the website that the visitors will get to when they first click to get to the directory ? EG. Just showing the dropdown box.

Thank you
