Navigate to the Nosto Admin UI > Search > Templates
Click on Deploy latest and launch live

Click on the desired deployment, click on ... and then on Redeploy
If your latest update doesn't work and you don't have a previous working version to go back to, or if you want to completely remove the search function, you can turn off the search templates for a temporary period.
