Anyone who knows it is WordPress can simply add a /?s=keyword and search the site. But by removing the form and adding this code will take care of that problem. There will be time when you have a client that only wants pages or posts to be shown if the URL is available. This function will come handy in that sense.

If search is unnecessary wouldn't it make more sense to not include the search form? If you leave a search form on a page and then don't let someone use that search form isn't that very poor usability? Am I missing something?

Isn't the fact that WordPress has such a fine Search feature a huge advantage when using it as a CMS? I can imaging Search only being not important on a small portfolio site say limited to 5 pages or so. Hmmmm…. can’t imaging Search not being important for a CMS.
