ACTION:
Follow these steps to achieve this customization:
1. Create a new plugin in the Web Customization Editor (WCE)
2. Go to the web directory > jsp and make a copy of Advance_Search.jsp and SearchSuggest_Content.jsp. Name them Advance_Search2.jsp and SearchSuggest_Content2.jsp for example.
3. Open these two copies and make the following changes:
    For Advance_Search2.jsp, locate and remove the following lines:

<input id="rootFolderType_39" name="rootFolderType" value="39" type="radio"><label for="rootFolderType_39"><web:descriptor key="mstrWeb.2058" desc="All" /></label>

                <br/>

 
   For SearchSuggest_Content2.jsp, add the red line to the location shown below:

 
4. Go to web directory > plugins > _Interface > jsp and copy the Menu_DockLeft.jsp to the corresponding folder in your custom plugin.
5. Go back to the WCE > Pages > search(Search Page) > Template Properties tab.
6. Change your dock left section to the copied Menu_DockLeft.jsp file. Then edit this file to replace:

<jsp:include page='/jsp/Advanced_Search.jsp' flush="true" />

with

<jsp:include page='/jsp/Advanced_Search2.jsp' flush="true" />

 
7. Modify the content section to replace:

<jsp:include page='/jsp/SearchSuggest_Content.jsp' flush="true" />
