Removing the search bar and the space where it was

I'm getting very frustrated!
I have the bottom menu bar active. I don't want the space bar there, well I wouldn't mind but I'd like it to be under the rest of the menu.

Right now one of my menu items automatically goes to the next area. When I add the search back it's in the area where there's nothing on the right hand side. I've been in the regular style sheet, the NOMNOM style sheet, and everywhere in between.
Please help!
I believe my menu is at 100%, so I'm really not sure why it does this other than that's where the search bar is when it's enabled.

I had the menu at 16px, but moved to 14px. Not what I wanted to do but it makes it look more spaced and fine for now.
If you know how to move the search to the sidebar or footer somewhere, I'd appreciate it. Maybe taking the space away too.

Thanks and yes, that removes the search bar. I was able to turn it off in the NomNom options, but there's still a space left over.
It's kind of like a spaceholder, it doesn't want to put anything where the space bar would be. That's what I mean by get rid of it completely. For some reason not showing it still leaves a space for it.

To remove the space on the menu I used:

Code:

/* removing space after search bar */
#branding .only-search + #access div {
    padding-right: 0px!important;
}

It works for me but I don't know if it's the right code...

Thank you starsmaker! That did it, I added both Zeaks code to remove it and then your code to remove the space and bingo - it worked!
Thanks again I'm very glad you posted!

First of all this theme is great! It has made my life easy and I love it. I've been able to figure out almost everything but I have one change that I am struggling with.

I'm trying to reduce the white space between the header image and the top of the header.

I removed the site title, description, and the search. The header is a huge white space and I would like to reduce the size. If I eliminate the site title and description it removes the rounded corners on the header which I love and want to keep.

When looking at the site with firebug it seems like the space for the search bar is still there and the space for the site title is still there.

I tried both of the suggestions above by pasting them into the nomnom custom css tab and not luck. I'm using a single wide layout the site is www.aebishopsearch.com.

Any help is ggreatly appreciated.

Okay, maybe I called wolf after a few hours of fussing with it. I reduced the size of the header text to 2px and put the site title margin to 0 -50 and it seemed to get rid of the extra white space. Is this a serious hack?
