_really_ disable GtkTreeView searching

Question

How do I really disable gtk treeview interactive search? The docs say to set_enable_search(False), but if I do this, CTRL+F still causes an annoying search pop-up to appear. Connecting to start-interactive-search and returning True doesn't work either.

The pygtk docs don't state this, but the C docs do:

gtk_tree_view_set_search_column (GtkTreeView *tree_view, gint column)

column :
    the column of the model to search in, or -1 to disable searching 

Passing -1 for the column really disables searching.

Link is rotten. I think you mean gtk_tree_view_set_search_column(-1), as this seems to work. – Ferule
