Is there a way to get rid of the search bar?

[kona0197]

I have a Moto E. It runs a stock version of Lolipop, Android 5.0. It runs the Google Now launcher and it has a white search bar on the top of every screen. I can't delete the bar by holding down and deleteing, nor can I disable the Google Search app in settings.

So what are my options?

I would not mind using a different launcher but i want something very, very, very simple and lightweight.

Thanks everyone!!

The best way could be using a custom launcher such as Nova. Try the free version first. Let us know if you need help setting things up.

Take a look here.
