How to Delete a Search Companion
Whether you seek files, folders, people or printers, the Search Companion helps you find what you need in the shortest amount of time. There are, however, some situations in which you may want to delete--or, in reality, "hide" a Search Companion behavior. For instance, to get a more streamlined pursuit, you could indicate which fields are to be shown in the results window. You can even "turn off" the animated Search Companion if it becomes a distraction.

Tips & Warnings
Conduct a test search before adjusting the settings of the Search Companion and take note of the width of each search result field (for example, "Name," "Size"). You can change the pixel width of any search result field in the "Details" field list section. (See Step 3.)
