On my site I want to have the home page display a search box in the header and on all of the other pages, I want a free trial link to show in the header.

How do I need to edit the header php file to make sure the home page removes the search box and adds the free trial link code listed below.

above was to remove search and place link instead
if you just want to remove search just remove don't replace and replace second block with the one  professionalc mentioned.

Thanks but you are only answering half the question...

What conditional tags do I add to the header.php file so the home page the existing layout, and the rest of the pages & posts show the new layout.

Home Page - keep the same with social links & no free trial link
All the other pages - remove the social links & add the free trial link.

if is home something...else something
