Can I get rid of this slide box in iOS 15 iPad? It obscures the search window, and I never use it.

The three dots “button”, and the multi-tasking controls of which you complain, are a core element of the iPadOS15 User Interface - intended to simplify use of full/split/slide-over multitasking. This control cannot be hidden or suppressed.


Some Apps will require update, by their respective developers, to accommodate changes made within iPadOS. Until affected Apps are updated, there is little that you can do other than to seek assistance from the respective App Developer:
