Android has as unremovable Search bar that can't be removed.

At least, I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I never use it.

There's no single "Android" OS in the same sense as Windows. Do you mean AOSP? You can edit the source code and remove it yourself.

That is not a realistic option.

That search bar's part of the home screen app, which you can replace. Search for 'launcher' on the play store.

The other launchers were always more feature rich compared to the launchers that come with some phones. I love having everything and the kitchen sink in case I need it.
