Currently, if I completely disable the right sidebar — say, because I'm trying to perfectly replicate the Recipe Book look, there will be a completely vestigial search bar no matter what config options I set. I can fix this by moving the recipe book look to the right side, but it feels quite bizarre!

On 1.20.1 NeoForge and the only other mods modifying the inventory screen as far as I'm aware are Trinkets, Inventory Tabs, Forgery, and Stack to Nearby Chests, if this is a bug.

This is currently planned for soon but hasn't been implemented yet, in addition with other search improvements like changing where the search bar is place (like inside a vanilla-style sidebar).
