You can define search: false for any column in the colModel (see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:options). This will disables searching on that column.

In general if you want to hide the column you use typically hidden: true in the column model definition. jqGrid not display hidden columns in the searching dialog if you explicitly not enable another behavior with searchhidden: true in the searchoptions (see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:search_config#colmodel_options)
