Search Validation

Hi there, Since updating to the latest version of the Woodmart theme I have an issue with the search form..
My search form has categories on the side. In the past version you could select one of the categories in the drop down list next to the search form and hit the search button icon and it would allow you to search without entering anything in the search field. So it would take you to a page showing all products in that category.

Now in the latest version if you don’t enter anything in the search field you get a javascript validation “Please fill in this form”

Is there a way to remove this validation from the search field so it can take you to the category page when you click on search as it did in the past version.
