Disable the replace option

I have a database that I want to use the search feature in but, because information can not be replaced, I need to find a way to disable that feature within the search. I'm also open to other suggestions on doing this-allowing a search but no replace.

Any ideas on how to do this?
 
You can make custom menus where the entire search is not available, and have your own search capabilities, but that's some work. If the data is to be totally restricted from updating, then you can use the security features to prohibit updating. The Replace box will show up, but they will get an error when trying to actually perform the replace.
