It would be great if the developer (via property on Page and/or PageExt for one or more pages) or the admin (via NST configuration for all environment) can hide or disable the "Search" field on lists.

I'm asking this because on very long lists if the users use this function trigger heavy SQL query that (if the number of records/columns are very big) gives users the error "Searching for rows took too long and was stopped. Try to search or filter using different criteria."
