google search widget removal help?

[BadgerVadge907]

for some reason google search widget is being obnoxious and i cant remove it from my home. it wont even respond to long presses. i tried deletion and that made my phone unable to reboot.
so I just re-flashed my CM11 ROM again.
it just bothers me because its always sending out packet data and utilizing my cpu even in background...i thought it would be easy. my galaxy express sgh-i437 only has a dual core 1.5ghz and i need all i can get out of it for porn and stuff haha.

You would probably have to load a different launcher to get rid of the search bar.
