# unregisterUserInterfaceItemSearchHandler(_:)

Unregister an object that provides help data to your app.

```
func unregisterUserInterfaceItemSearchHandler(_ handler: any NSUserInterfaceItemSearching)
```

## Parameters

`handler`

The class instance that conforms to `NSUserInterfaceItemSearching` and provides help content.

## Discussion

If you unregister the same instance more than once the subsequent invocations are ignored. Unregistering an instance that was never registered is ignored.
