I'm looking to hide the spotlight icon from my menu bar, but keep spotlight fully running. Various internet searches have yeilded the following two terminal commands which will remove the icon, but leave spotlight running.

Code:
sudo chmod 600 /System/Library/CoreServices/Search.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Search; 

killall SystemUIServer

All internet references to these commands have been pretty old posts prior to 10.9.x. Can anyone confirm that this defiantly works under Mavericks?
