storefront footer bar search

Hello everyone,

I’m using the default storefront theme. It comes with a “handheld footer bar”. This functionality can be viewed on the woothemes demo:

https://demo.woothemes.com/storefront/

As you can see, the middle icon is for search. Storefront implements “woocommerce product search” instead of the default wordpress search. I’d rather use the default wp search (because I have running a sweet SOLR search plugin by Pantheon), but I have been fruitless in trying to figure out how to do this.

I’ve successfully swapped out the search on the 404 page by simply changing:

if ( storefront_is_woocommerce_activated() ) {
  the_widget( 'WC_Widget_Product_Search' );
} else {
  get_search_form();
}

to:

the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Search' );

But, switching search in the footer bar is proving more elusive. I’ve tried amending storefront-woocommerce-template-functions.php to no avail. Probably because php is Greek to me.

Thanks to all!
