Got it to hide using CSS:
.CommunityPage .search-granularity { display: none;}
As far as I know, it is not currently possible to remove the dropdown without custom development. Since you are the second person to ask this week, it seems like this idea is gaining some traction.
I would suggest opening a case to see if the team here has any ideas of ways to accomplish this and/or add it as an enhancement request in our Ideas area.
Thanks Brian. I'll go ahead and request it in the ideas section.
Perhaps there's a way to just hide this element using CSS.
If I wanted to hide something specific to the "CommunityPage" how would I do this? Can you direct me to the right place?

Better way - specify the element within the body of the community page:
#lia-body.CommunityPage .search-granularity { display: none;}
Now that we know the "how," I would be interested in the why. In particular, removing the user search means that people have to click the search button with no entry, or an irrelevant entry to get to a page where they can specify that they want a user search. That is confusing and many won't figure out that process. Additionally, if you add our Tribal Knowledge Base feature at some time, you can also focus your search there.
Nice! I had just pinged one of our designers to see if they had any ideas.
