All Portal Page Elements you create appear as a subsection within the configuration menu under the name you assigned. While you cannot delete Portal Page Elements once created, you can make them inactive. To do this, follow these steps:
Click the Edit icon next to the element you want to deactivate.
Click Make Element Inactive on the toolbar.
Inactive elements are listed in a separate tab, where you can edit and sort them on the page just like you do with active elements.
To finalise the configuration of Global Search, follow these steps:
Navigate to Site Configuration → Site Configuration → Portal Page Elements → {Element Name} using the name you provided earlier.
Click Settings next to the Search element.

Choose whether to Show Users in search results.
In the # of Results per Page field, enter the number of results to display per page in the Search Results window.
Click Save Settings to apply your changes.
