padlock on login broken, because of header search and sidebox search. Any fix?

[zenartman]

My website started showing padlock with yellow triangle when one arrives on login. When checking all, I find that advanced search and search sidebox causes this:

The page at 'https://www..../index.php?main_page=login' was loaded over a secure connection, but contains a form which targets an insecure endpoint 'http://www....com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result'. This endpoint should be made available over a secure connection.

After turning off both header search and search sidebox, I see the login page shows nice green padlock on chrome.

I know, I need to upgrade and have a very bad history of messing during upgrade. Till then is there a way to disable the header search and sidebox search on login page and the following checkout shipping, checkout payment8 checkout confirmation pages etc till being transferred to paypal or whatever payment processor?



Thank you all.
